If your concidering a purchase Check out by Crown the "vanguard" its a killer sounding 7-15 IPS machine. Mono tube amplifiers included. Mine spilled tapes if not careful, but the sound was to die for, completly KILLED revox, Tascam, ect i owned, Pry can pick one up for around 2-300 mint. I used to record my favorite records on tape and play those and enjoyed VERY much. Crown Made some great reel to reels. The vanguard is from late 60's.
Ampex Model 1250 Tubed Reel-to-Reel
Hello -- I am thinking of investing in an Ampex Model 1250 tubed reel-to-reel. Would someone familiar with this unit extrapolate on its pros and cons relative to other machines. Currently I use a vinyl-only setup and hope to occassionaly use the Ampex to delve into a medium that is perhaps closer to an original performance.
The 1250 is a two-track machine that can use upto 7" reels and runs at speeds: 7 1/2 and 3 3/4 IPS
Thank you for your time and patience assisting in this matter.
Sincerely,
SomuT
