Hi Steve (aka ironbut). thanks for the welcome. The more information I gather about RTR, the less enchanted I am with the A77 in the first place. Decent but definitely consumer oriented. And I'm after the best sound possible (within the budget) in 1/4 inch tape.
I knew the A77 had an issue or two when I bought it and mainly just wanted it to tinker with/study and because there was an open space within my racking. You know, 10-inch reels, look cool in the overall system context. And my main source very much is vinyl. However, now I'm getting more serious about the tape, which explains the Otari MX-5050 BII 1/2 track(with 4th head) which is coming my way soon (he says). This player is supposed to be ready to go (plug and pray) so I shouldn't have to fix very much with it.
Good to know there is a Studer/Revox contingent within these forums. I will do more lurking and learn. Already I'm picking up plenty of info here that I had been searching for previously. This is a great place!
