i usually record very loud sources.
i have found that i can only use line level but when i use
line level i have to have the vol knob around 8-9 to get decent levels
if i use mic-in
with the 20db pad i am able to set the knob at 3-4, but i get distorted
recordings. any thoughts on this subject?<<<

It's a very well-known limitation (particualrly) of the Sony portable
decks known as "brickwalling." The output level of the mics is too much
for the preamp stage to handle, so it overloads. The preamp stage is
prior to where the rec level gets adjusted and where the meters are,
so there is nothing you can do about it. It's generally understood that
if the record level know is set under 4, you will get brickwalling. This
problem was worse on the D7 and D8

>i hate to have to have the vol knob at 9.

Why does this bother you?

Looking to contact anyone that has taped or  knows of anyone that has taped 
Nektar live...especially the recent North  American tour in September.
Thanks
