    The cartridge on Aiwa is the AT3600L not the AT91 you showed that tracks at 2gr. AT3600L tracks between 2.5gr and 4gr so the tracking force on that Aiwa is correct

    Ok. But the title suggests I can record DIGITAL audio to cassette, how is that done? :) I mean. Yeah there's DAT. But I don't think that works on regular compact cassettes. I guess cramming a c64 music track on it would count. I just got confused by the title.

    In technology we should avoid sentence "as much as possible". We need instead sentence "as good (as much, as low) as is practicaly needed". This would be right guidance also to constructors. I wanted also to have linear tracking but after deliberation I found that when it comes to vintage B&O amazing pros will not cover hard cons. So I use B&O Beogram 1700 traditional - only thing I did was replacing pickup for best for this model. Works no problem for 10 years, it's automatic and no any LP scratch happened so far. No skipping and best resistsance to vibrations. I convinced myself that it is "as good as practicaly needed" by comparison of the same albums paralell play by B&O CDdisc and with this turnatable with over switching the same moments within piece of second while played thouugh common very high quality system. The differences were not easy noticeable and no possible to find out which is the better at least for me . Because on other hand LP record is original 59 years old and CD obviously much younger and digital and they are so close.. So linear tracking is still my far wish list but only as secondary to main traditional. I only do not know how to place such two in compact system .

    I had a Realistic LAB-1500. Definitely NOT high-end hardware. One of my albums, Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hits, Vol. II, had a bad scratch which would cause an angled tone-arm to skip badly. My linear-tracking LAB-1500 could play the entire album without skipping or sticking. It had the repeat function. It also had optical sensors to determine which size record you put in it, so it wouldn't drop the cartridge / stylus on the bare turntable. I really wanted the model from Sansui which had two tone-arms and could play both sides of the record without needing to flip it.

    This is not recording digital audio. The moment you play a digital file through a headphone output, it becomes analog. For recording digital you'd need a digital media such as a MiniDisc recorder, a DCC tape recorder or DAT tape recorder. And not via an analog headphone jack but via an optical cable.

    • @soundelegy5987

      Consumers doesn't need balanced and I have doubts, that any consumer tape was equipped with balanced inputs. When they started to offer power mixers with speakers with the goal to amplify the vocals in a loud orchestra, non balanced inputs were also used for microphones. It came later, that live equipment became more and more closer to studio equipment.
