Naim UnitiLite and reel to reel player. Working idea?

Posted by: esko467 on 18 July 2016

I am about to by reel to reel player/recorder and will connect it to Naim UnitiLite. It has analog out and preamp out. Can I connect RTR to those and record for example CD to RTR or FM radio since I have FM module in my Naim UnitiLite?

AFAIK, the Unitilite doesn't have a proper buffered tape loop so you need to take care - by all means use the analog OUT but I would disconnect the R2R input to the Unitilite as a precaution when recording. If you want to monitor the recording then plug in some headphones to the R2R - I use a pair of Senneheiser HD480II for monitoring recordings whether on digital or analog recorders - they're tough and basically fairly neutral, so what you hear is what you get.
