THANKS Steve!!!!!! You the best!
P.S. - Yes, I am certainly following that thread along, and saving the posts, having just put a new capstan motor in my A80-VU. The sonic revelation from that is something I'm still getting my ears around. Amazing really.
I find the style used in the thread difficult and I would not recommend it for anyone but the most technically dedicated. Takes me back to EE school and the cat & mouse demeaning style sadly used by weaker professors to cover-up their own shortcomings with regard to teaching skills. However, the information really is excellent and very valuable especially for Studer users, and comes from a Studer master (perhaps even "the" Studer Master here in the US?).
