i await you results with anticipation.if you use the +4dB setting, does that mean that on average your levels will be -14dB below nominal? if so, that is a significant loss (~2.5 bits out of 24). it's a pity because your soundcard obviously is much better than mine with a much lower noise floor (dynamic range 117dB vs my paltry 102dB).
perhaps rather than buying a mixer, which i agree is expensive, you could build your own gain control. unfortunately i am not an electronics expert (i dropped out of elec eng at uni) but i'm imagining it will be relatively simple to build using just a few parts.
i think your missing samples problem is directly correlated with the spikes you are seeing.
the 35kHz peak is probably the analog tape bias.
suggestion: have you tried recording at 96/24?
