Hi All

as a lover of analogue i have been been sorely tempted by the offer of an otari 55N fully functional with yarlung tape issues

As a previous owner of an technics RS1500 ...would u think this good choice to re enter ...this unit is fully functional with a calibration tape ?

thx

Andrew

It should better any off your other sources especially with the master tapes. The Technics 1500 by itself would not be as good as the Otari, unless you had an external tape pre-amp.
