Hi Grant, I will find out. for what application would you use a 'tape loop' feature?

Guido, I send the source's signal (fixed level) through the tape loop's output to a balanced line transceiver, which then sends the signal to a second system. Vice versa, I use the tape loop's input to take the signal from the second system and use it as a source in the main system. Obviously, I can use any input for the incoming signal, but a tape loop offers an additional input in situations where a preamp may have a small number of available inputs.

I have five sources (turntable, universal disc player, CD changer, tuner, balanced line transceiver).

I use the bypass on my Continuum to send a line-level signal to my headphone amp. I think you could use the Capri's bypass to send that signal to your transceiver. There's not as much room on the back of the Capri, so you'll have to look at the manual Guido's sending you to see if there's both unbalanced and balanced.

I don't want to bypass the Capri. I want to listen to source "A" in my main system, and also send a line-level signal of source "A" to my second system. Does that fit the bypass feature of the Capri. It doesn't fit what I traditionally consider the function of a bypass circuit.

I greatly appreciate receiving the manual from Guido. I'll take a look at it.

Yes Tvad, you can use both Line Outs at the same time with the Capri. The Bypass Input can be used as a third input for your Transceiver which, in turn from what I understand, can accept additional inputs. So you've got three line level inputs on the Capri ("1" can be converted to phono) and two line level outputs that can be used simultaneously.

You can control the volume of both outputs from the Capri, but they'll both be at the same level. If you want different volumes in different locations, then you'll need at least one remote volume control.
