Get the Otrari and be done with it, you won't be sorry.
It is the best bang for the buck out there right now.

Who is the best trustworthy source for them?
Ebay may be your best bet if you cnanot find someone who is willing to sell you his. That guy down in Fla. is pretty good from what I understand, Craigslist as well. Just start watching ebay and get yourself familiar with the decks on there and wait for what appears to be a good deal. Of course you can always come back here and ask the guys here what they think of the deck you are looking at.

Yes ... the drool factor for that machine. :)
The other factor is the space needed for the R2R. Even the small decks still
take up room and tend to be happy away from speakers and TV's.
