Interesting thread, I was looking to get into R2R's last year. I read quite a bit and the one place that seemed to have good modern info was the Tape Project. from what I have read the Studers are fantastic rigs but they also say the Otari is no s... 
Is a jelco sa750e low mass or high mass ?
I have run a 103 on my 750L with good results, well as good as the 103 can do anyway.  
Phonostage opamp replacement 22v
I would highly recommend you look at Burson Audio's Discrete op amp replacements. they are larger then an op-amp so you may have to look at space but they do offer some extenders to allow more flexible installation. I use a set in my MSB DAC and t... 
Help me upgrade my speakers?

thoughts on phono stage
I've had both the Manley Chinook and Steel Head in my system and they are both wonderful. I will be adding a Chinook to my system in the near future, wish I could afford the Steal Head.  
What the heck is up with the audiogon listing photos?
this sight has slowly gone from a gear lovers sight to a dealers resale sight similar to Auto-trader. remember when it was free to post an add and they only charged for upgraded listings then they started charging for every add, that’s when the de...

Rush/Stevie Wonder remasters vs. 24 Karat Audio Fidelity releases...
not sure about the SW, but I have heard some of the new releases by Rush (mostly on vinyl) and they are quite nicely done. I got all the Rush releases from Rush's web sight.
