In that case there's little point in messing around with pre-amps or 
the like.

If you have access to a Win PC, then there's an (I think it is still 
free) audio-processing program called 'Audacity' that should be 
capable of considerably reducing the tape-hiss whilst leaving the 
wanted sound relatively unaffected. I don't think that there's any 
program capable of doing this on the Iyonix, unfortunately.

In that case, sorry, I don't have one :-(
