Wow, no repair support? That's sad.
I know there are not enough repair places as I have my amplifier in for repair at SoundSmith and they have been slammed with work. They're great guys, and I'm willing to be patient.
Recommendations for digital recording device?
It strikes me that I would like to record from my preamp, which has tape loop inputs and outputs, but I have no idea what device I could use to do that. I’m not going back to tape, lol.
Are there any high quality rack based recorders to do what I want? I’d like a relatively simple interface. I don’t want to break the bank.

I stream lossless from both Tidal and Qobuz under Roon to an Aqua Formula DAC, so I am well acquainted with streaming. I pay about $50 a month and am impressed with the quality. |
Great point cleeds! Where do you record live broadcasts? |
Yesterday, I received the Denon DN-900R. It’s sold out in a lot of places and I had been waiting on it but I found Markertek, a broadcast supply house, that had it in stock so I got it right away. I hooked it to my Tape Loop 1 inputs and outputs on my preamp and at first I could not get it working. Well, I discovered that it defaults to balanced inputs even when unbalanced cables are plugged in. Once I set that in Preset 1, and there are something like 39 options in the Presets, lol, it works great! No more waiting for tape to rewind, I am especially excited to getting the web server up and running so I can program the recordings of broadcasts from a web browser on my computer. That’s going to be slick. I had to order a long network cable for it. I’m using a 128GB USB stick but have purchased a 1TB one to use instead. The old days of making tapes was a lot of fun and this brings some of that back. It may seem silly to some but a lot of programs are broadcast once and never rebroadcast or set up for on demand streaming. Now, I’ll be able to capture some of them. If people know of good broadcasts of, say, live concerts, let me know.
