    Dear all
    I just purchased a Teac TN-400BT turntable and was thinking of backing up my vinyls using Sony D6C or Marantz PMD430 using a 2xRCA cable (out) from turntable to tape recorder stereo 3.5mm (in).
    Just wondering if it is worth the effort as I am thinking of getting the tape recorder next and hope to get some valuable advice. Reason for these two models was primarily the portability and size. Thanks in advance !

    connecting your record player to cassette recorder is better than what i do

    I connect a Pro-ject turntable to computer through USB and copy the vinyls to hard drive. Then i copy the digital file through a DAC to Marantz PM430. This way i can better manage files that i like to copy on a cassette. The way is easier to make selections/ choosing different songs to copy on same cassette.

    But you get better quality by connecting the turntable to cassette player directly
