A few days later addition:
This post is wrong.
When listening in Vicky's listening room with Muiscal Fidelity, Spendor speakers the older recording with Sony TC-D5 Pro II sounds must better, bright, focused, clear, loud etc than both TC-D5M or PMD430.
Is this because it has mic input transformers feeding the input bipolar transistor ? See also a few days newer post.
Another mistake in this post:
The AKG D190 mic used seems to be an D190ER with internal bass cut filter.
see: https://euroelectron.blogspot.com/2020/01/updates-on-akg-d190-on-pleiades-lab.html
Summary:
Possibly the best was
AKG D190 or Shure SM59 both with Pleiades (130Ω,40mH) GHP (gentle high pass) filter to Marantz
Marantz sounds much brighter with detail. Some s problems, not with SM59.
SM59 sounds less loud. It under modulates tape.
RE-15 with LC to V5 full modulates tape even at a 4/10 Rec Level setting.
Full sound.
All these test by listening trough Sennheiser HD580 headphones.
If listening through the Marantz small internal loudspeaker
Shure SM59 - Pleiades (130Ω,40mH) - Marantz PMD430
is possibly the best
