   I don't understand how you can connect the output of the Tandberg's phono   
   preamp to the TNE 7000's input, then the output of the TNE 7000 to a   
   high-level input on the preamp -- and expect to hear anything. On most   
   preamps, you cannot simultaneously select one output and a different input.   
   If you're not using the tape monitor circuit, from where are you getting the   
   phono-preamp signal?   
      
   Unless you need the tape monitor for something else, you normally connect   
   signal-processing devices to the tape-monitor circuit. This isn't the only   
   way to hook up the TNE 7000, but it's simple and IT WORKS.

   Assuming the LPs have been carefully cleaned, preferably with a vacuum   
   machine...   
      
   The TNE 7000 is not intended to remove big scratches. It removes (or   
   reduces) medium-to-small pops and ticks.   
      
   If pops and clicks are converted to "thumps", either the unit is grossly   
   defective, or you've got things set up wrong.   
      
   I have a TNE 7000, and it works fine. Do this... Set up the TNE 7000   
   correctly -- that is, put it in the tape-monitor circuit -- and try it   
   again, and tell us what happens. (You can connect the monitor amp to the   
   Tape Out jack of the TNE 7000.)
