Bad News: Neither the Marantz PM8006 nor the more expensive Model 30 will do the job by either tape loop or pre-out/main-in loop. This even though they both have terminal pairs on the back suggestive of these functions. The manuals are no help on these issues, which was already a bad sign. After a very long chat with tech support, who didn't seem to have ever heard of a tape loop or of insertion of an equalizer between pre-out and main-in, I eventually extracted an admission that both of these functions are unavailable (as on the Yamaha A-S501).
Out of luck with Marantz. Any other ideas (besides investing in separate preamp and power amp)?
