Re: Stellavox SP7 questions for gurus...

As the responses indicate, the simplest/cheapest way to go would be to add a stereo playback head (only) and connect it to an external preamp.

The question that arises from this or any "direct conection" from head to preamp is how "purist" you want the signal path to be? The most "pure" would be a single shielded cable from each channel of the head terminals right to the RCA connector which plugs into the preamp. With the Stellavox (or other brands), if the "looks" of the modified machine don't bother you, the wires could be run out of holes drilled in the the top or back of the headblock. If looks matter, then things get complicated.

Please also understand that any used machine may have other unrelated mechanical and/or electrical problems and should be fully checked out before contemplating any modifications.
