I haven't used it for quite some time, but have some great original studio recordings on reel which I recorded straight from master tape at a time when I worked in a recording studio. ... | |

I've also recently been having some problems with my equipment; two different sets of tube amps developed a problem which then had to be sent back for repair. One channel of on... | |
