In Reply to: Tape Preamps...why? posted by Sprezza Tura on September 24, 2014 at 15:44:45:
In the early days of (consumer) tape recorders, the tape deck was typically just the transport and heads; no electronics. A tape recorder had the electronics (bias oscillator, preamplifier and equalization) onboard. Nowadays, we expect tape decks to include electronics.
One can easily imagine a carefully designed and built outboard preamp bettering the one built in to, say, a modest consumer-grade TEAC or AKAI tape "deck" of the 1970s.
The attached JPG, from the 1961 Allied Radio catalog (site link below) shows an example.
all the best,
