Got it Benjie!
Probably not something I am too interested in pursuing right now Tbh.
I am actually quite happy with this little tube buffer, it is doing exactly what i hoped for.
As a bonus ( in my eyes at least) it has tone controls which is very useful to roll off the bass a little on some early recordings.
For my needs I am probably set for now.
Time to shop for some more decent tape though, nearly used all my Ampex up.
