Sheesh!  Now this is why I hate getting bitten by the afore-cussed 
"Reply-To" function.  "No good deed goes unpunished."

First, what did I write that was wrong?  Maybe I'm sleepy but I can't 
find with what you're disagreeing.  I concur with what you've said about 
transports and preamps but it doesn't disagree with what I said.

Second; sorry, but no way does that Scott's tape loop input have enough 
gain to handle a raw head output.  It is intended for a tape line source.
