This is really teh only analog taht is of any merit, large tape machines. When it gets down converted onto an LP, it's like todays, down converting to MP3 from a nice DIGITAL master . THIS is ANALOG at it's best, but then this being teh 21st century, things have shrunk, more efficient, better features, cheaper......even FIRE production is now more controlled and useable over what teh caveman used and had...we don't cook on rocks anymore, only the nostaglia buffs do that stuff. A digital DSD recorder, probably sounds real cloe to one of these beasts, MF should do a review of his $100K TT compared to a playback of one of these 2" tape units at 30 IPS, yeah, LP's are hardly superior. http://www.prosoundnews.com/publish/news...tuder_J37.shtml
