Conclusions About HK990 Tape Recorder Functionality
Harman is to be congratulated for providing the dual-domain tape recorder interface. Regrettably, the front panel controls make it difficult to use. The quality of the internal ADC and DAC in the tape recorder path is disappointing. Mixing analog and digital connections to a CD-R or MiniDisc recorder can result in potentially damaging self-oscillation.
