Im well aware of pro amps and other devices.

Heres the facts, AAR. Im getting the results im looking for WITHOUT having to use a professional proc amp. Now you might disagree with the way im going about doing it. What matters is im getting the results im looking for.

No, its well documented that it isnt a professional deck. I own one of these. Its a prosumer deck. I admit that the 9800 is not a professional deck, but it is a consumer deck.

In terms of image quality, I prefer the JVC.
In terms of tbc stability, the panasonic is one of the best. I wish I could own a deck that had the image quality/dnr filters of the JVC with the tbc of the panasonic.

What do you think of Lordsmurf's opinion on the ADVC300?

I understand the gripe. You cant control the DNR. You cant turn it on/off.
Does that mean this piece of equipment is a piece of garbage? No.
Would you benefit from using this unit?
Yes you would. Why? Because I see with multi generated tapes like the Blind Melon that you authored, the tape would benefit from being cleaned up with the DNR filters of that machine. I pretty much think any VHS no matter if its 1st gen or multi generated would benefit from the filters and encoding quality of this machine.
