what is a "tape loop"?


I have an Audio Refinement Complete int. amp and i am curious about the uses of 2 "tape loops" it has. What are they used for? Can i use them as a pre-out?

thanks in advance.

The tape out has no volume control (and in the the circuit it preceeds the pre amp volume control) so if you try to drive your amp from it you will be passing on the full signal from your source. What you can do, but I don't know why you would want to, is to put a passive attenuator between the tape out and the amp to control the volume. If you source has a separate volume control you could do as you suggest.
