Topic: Tascam HD-P2 Oade MODS

[Carlos E. Martinez]

imo - the point of getting the acm mod done (and i have an acm P2) is so that you can run the box as a standalone. basically, if i understand what was done correctly, the preamp stage (the analog stage) has been rebuilt by doug, lowering the noise floor, and likely making the response quicker, and generally improving the signal quality. if you are going to use an external preamp, then you might just want the basic mod which rebuilds the rca line-in stage (not the xlr-in) which is what you would be using with an external preamp. if you have an external preamp AND adc that you are using (like a V3), then you might not need a modification at all, 'cos you would just be using the p2 as a bit bucket...

Thanks, that's what I meant to say with my comments.

Exactly macdaddy. The reason I did it was because i wanted the flexibility to use it as a standalone on certain occassions. I use the V3 a good portion of the time which makes the HD-P2 just a bit bucket, but I'd like to leave the V3 behind on some occassions, so the mod allows me this option. Definitely not absolutely needed with a modded deck though.
