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

The Ampex MR-70 while a truly fine machine used the similar tape path as the old 300 deck with the addition of a viscous damped supply reel inertia idler  (flywheel ran in a sump of oil)but it's supported path from idler to capstan across the head is long. I also don't like those all Nuvistor tubes in the electronics of the MR70. They'll oscillate if you look at them crooked or not holding your tongue right!. Much prefer the Studer arrangement and the Studer choice of tubes. Cheers! James

Hi my first post to this great forum !

I have always been intrigued by the Studer versus the Ampex debate (I have a B62 & G36). What are the parts availability for the Ampex ?

Best Regards,

Alex
