  Gregory asked about interfacing the PCM-2500 with ordinary consumer
components.  I was involved with such a project when the PCM-2500 had just
been imported by Sony and was very new.  At that time the "professional"
answer was to get an outboard consumer-to-pro adapter box such as the ATI
MatchMaker MM100.  Later I hacked it by simply using the gold plated
RCA/Cinch connectors on the back of a PCM-2500A tape deck directly into
and out of consumer gear.  I never ran the numbers, but PCM-2500 sound --
both "professional" and hacked -- passed without objection from any
listener, no matter how golden (or tin) the ears.

  The 2500A had quite an issue with tape hub spindle sticking.  Good luck.

Hope this helps

Gary
