I bet it's better than a Chinese made Acer laptop line out, too, right?

As I said, I used foobar to create the a playlist that time wise would fit onto a 7.5 reel using slow speed (3 3⁄4 ips)
I ran a basic male 3.5 > Stereo RCA cord directly into my pre-amp (a Mcintosh C28 at the time) and recorded using the volume controls of the C28 and line input of the TEAC 2300sx using unopened 7.5 Maxell Ud 35-180.
I ran the recordings level somewhat hot (+3 on the VU Meters)
Made Led Zep, The Who, Pink Floyd, reggae, classic rock, blues, etc... mixed tapes.
Remember, all of these albums were recorded onto analog tape any ways, so I am using a play back format that these recordings were intended to be played!
