Knock1, your critique is spot on. No need to apologize. OP might get relevant responses on some other forum dedicated to tape or even on What’s Best Forum. Many of those guys are tape aficionados.
Studer A807
Are any of you out there in audio land using the A807? If so, may I ask you to provide feedback regarding your experience specifically including playback quality and any relevant operational details, heads, tape handling, reliability, etc?
Thank you kindly.
