SOTA reel to reel players


Which reel2reel sounds best without getting into the megabucks price range?
Also a unit that is not problematic.
I imagine quarter inch is the way to go for home use?

Don't fool around. SOTA equals Ampex ATR with multi head blocks and equalization boards. Of course you need an on staff tech to keep it running. You will want to attend a few classes that provide hands on instruction. Your budget for all this should be about $100,000.

No, I don't have an ATR, but I've had and owned almost all the other machines mentioned. Currently have six r2r machines, over 1000 commercial tapes, 300 broadcast 10.5 two track tapes.

If you have not started into this area, don't, so you can have a comfortable retirement.
