Sound
i have a teac x7 reel to reel that operates at -10 and i dump the stereo track into logic at +4 through an apogee da 16x. ive always had to turn up the output of the tape deck past unity gain to get a strong signal in logic and this product advertised an 11 db passive gain with a built in hum eliminator..sounded like a winner. 75$ seemed liked a fair price to strengthen the rather low fi signal and reduce the noise in my less than perfect set up. however upon pugging into the box my system immediately picked up a strong persistent 60hz hum. i thought maybe i had a wire crossed somewhere i check my entire set up no long cable runs no crappy cables...i decided to plow ahead and hear this passive 11db gain they advertised.. more like a 10db drop. what a crock. what a complete waste of time and energy. i feel like ive been conned out of 75 bucks with nothing to show for it but a black box that makes things sound worse than they already did
