BTW - has anyone found any good information about using a better 12v power supply with this unit? I'd like to find a reasonably priced source... Thanks.

You can't use it as a DAC between the pre and the amp. If you want to use it as a DAC, you either do so upstream of the pre (as an input into the pre) or you hook it up directly to the amps, and then you are using it as a DAC+PRE.Are you talking a...

No, you're not bypassing the volume control. And the bypass function is so easy to control from the remote (rather than getting up to change the tape loop setting) that it seems to be the way to go (b/t preamp and amp).I wrote to the manufacturer ...

I've only played it for a couple hours, not broken in or anything (does it need break in???). It is playing in analog mode b/t my preamp and amps. What I notice so far is that it really cleans up the bass - not as muddy or resonant. That is nice. ... 
Were any of you taping concerts circa 1972-88?
Butterking - once I joined forces with my friend, we did all the taping on his Nak. He had the masters, I the first generations. But I mostly listen to livemusicarchive for shows thesedays. I gave away many of my tapes.

Is anyone using either a Allnic L3000 or L1500?
I had an L3000 for a while, older transformers. I loved the design and flexibility, but I was nonplussed on the sonics. In my system, it just seemed way too polite, not dynamic enough. At the same time, a good friend, who had the L3000 in a super ... 
Is the CD and DVD/Bluray going away?
Download movie offerings are so limited. I would only embrace this if that changed dramatically. 
Were any of you taping concerts circa 1972-88?
Yeah - I had a nice sounding JVC portable tape deck. It made warm sounding recordings. My buddy had a nakamichi 550, which was very good. 
Has anyone experianced Synesthesia?
""What am I selling?"...... Perhaps my soul, but not my dignity."Can you explain how it is possible to sell your soul without losing your dignity? To me, dignity is about having a soul, not about performing well regardless of all other considerati... 
How do I smooth out violins?
I think you're going to have to play around with substitutions a bit. Do you have any friends with gear, who would be willing to bring it over? I'd focus on the preamp and source (CDP). What about your room. Is it overly "live"? I'm assuming that ... 
Ripping problem
It's my understanding that WAV files do not contain any tagging. The tagging is in your program library, that keeps track of the WAV file and associates information related to the files. That is why I use AIFF rather than WAV. As Mapman mentioned,...
