One thing I need to check, is my RCA patch cables. I'm consistently down between 1.88 and 1.91dB on the right-side.

Correctable in Audacity, although annoying to do so as I have to split the tracks, do an "Amplify", then "mix" it back down to stereo ("Pan" is too coarse, it'll only give me 10% steps, I need to pan by a dB amount).

(Yeah, I need to look into Tenacity… first I need to build it.)

I suspect a dicky connection, but since it's stable, I'll put up with it for today. I can't be arsed hunting through my box of cables.

Speed has been *spot on*.

In terms of gain, around -2 on this preamp is giving good results. Playing back the recordings I made, I nudged the roof, but it's not audible with my equipment, so sod it, that'll be good enough.

I managed to get through 6 discs, and I'm doing a 7th one now:

- ZZ Top - Eliminator
- The Cure - Greatest Hits (2 discs)
- Chris De Burgh - The Getaway
- Creedence Clearwater Revival - 21st Anniversary - The Ultimate Collection (2 discs)
- Elton John - Too Low For Zero

I'll pack it away for today.
