Reel to Reel Tape Machines / Studer 807 mkII

« on: April 23, 2007, 01:34:11 PM »

I have a Studer 807, mkII, and that is good to go. It is 1/4-inch, 2-track, with 7.5/15/30IPS and the NAB/IEC is switchable on the front of the machine using a menu button.

General Discussion / Re: "Audiophile" tape decks - Mark Levinson ML-5

« on: April 23, 2007, 12:48:53 AM »

Hello,

Newcomer here; just wanted to bump this thread a bit, given the mention of the ML-5.
As a 'consumer enthusiast' I was always curious about very high-end modded decks like the Levinson, and  when I learned about it, I found the CD re-issue of one of the recordings made on it: jazz pianist Randy Weston's double album 'Ancient Future/Blue'.

The liner info is as follows (for 'Blue')
Produced by Thomas Buckner.
Recorded by Gerald Oshita on the ML-5 using 2 B&K 4133 mics.
Northwest Recording Studio, Seattle, Washington, March 1983.

I just thought this might be of interest.

Best,
Claus.
