my current taping gear is:

a pair of soundman OKM-2 klassik microphones (omni-directional, takes up to 100dB)
a pair of soundman OKM-2 rock/studio microphones (omni-directional, selected pair, takes up to 120dB)
both with adaptor A3 (battery power, bass roll-off and -20dB switch)

a Sony SBM-1 20bit adaptor (not modified)
a Sony TCD D100 DAT recorder

a custom-made, high-end RCA-to-RCA* cable, 2m
various cables & connectors (e.g. XLR to RCA, 6.3mm Mono Jack to RCA, 3.5mm Stereo Jack to 2x RCA)
*in Germany they're known as 'cinch'-cables

i mainly use Maxell DATs (DM180 and DM120). however, i've occasionally used DDS tapes.

(pictures to follow)

transfer:

a Turtlebeach Fiji ISA-soundcard (old, but good!) for bit-perfect transfers
a Sony RMD-100K remote control set (offers SP/DIF in- und outputs, both optical and RCA... does anyone really need the remote control?)

working with:

Steinberg's WaveLab 4.x with various plug-ins (incl. the 'Mastering Edition')
Adobe Audition (fomerly Cool Edit Pro)
running on a Pentium III 600MHz computer on Win98 (yeah, i know it's outdated. but it's working)
a pair of Beyerdynamic DT990pro headphones

tools & software:

Feurio! (best audio cd burning software ever!), Nero
Traders' Little Helper (TLH): shn, flac & ape conversion, checksum creation & verification
mkwACT
FlacFrontend

formerly I used a Sharp MD702 mini-disk recorder and a Sony ECM 717 microphone.
