Uses for "tape-out" on a preamp

I use it to feed an Audio Control balanced line transceiver to send a signal to my home theater system in another room in my home.

I have also used the tape outs in the past to insert an EQ box into my system, which can then be switched in or out of the signal chain by selecting the tape monitor.

if your digital recorder accepts analog signal you could use it for that.

I use it to feed the analog signal from my table
to my ad converter. If you do any recording of any of your sources you pretty much gotta have it. I personally wouldn't buy a preamp without it.

Outboard EQ, Home Theatre connection, analog computer input, VCR audio, second volume controled amp/speakers in another room, headphone amp, etc.?.

I use tape connections for several purposes:

1)My Stax headphone amplifier requires a line-level input and has its own volume control, so I drive that from tape outputs.

2)I use the phono amplifier section of a Mark Levinson ML-1 preamplifier as my phono stage, accessing it via the tape out jacks, which I connect into my main preamp (a Classe CP-60, which does not have a phono stage). (The ML-1's line stage doesn't work and is essentially unrepairable due to parts unavailability).

3)I have a high-end 1980's Tandberg 3004 cassette deck, which I connect into a tape loop on the Classe. I haven't recorded anything on it in years, but I use it for playback occasionally.
