Technics "Porn"

amirm · Jan 8, 2011

It doesn't get any better than this if you are a fan of Technics and R2R!

From J-corder room at CES

From Ear room (modded Technics)

I heard a CD dub to the Technics at the J-corder booth and boy, did it sound incredibly good.

Amir,

Did you ever get around to purchasing a reel-to-reel tape deck?

Bonne Annee,

Sam

Timely! I saw and heard a lot of those machines... I found my old cheapie (Pioneer RT-707) RTR in the basement recently. I used it for a lot of live work (and even a few radio commercials) when I did not want to use my Revox B77 (long gone, sob) or one of the studio machines to which I had access (1" and 2" tape, and way too bulky for field work).

Not yet Sam. Found a couple of Nagra T's overseas but couldn't get the sellers to return messages.

Hi Don,

Is the Pio RT-707 or 909 a unit you'd recommend for an entry-level system such as mine? I almost bought a 707 a few weeks back, but it looked a little too banged up for my liking from the pics the seller submitted.

Bummer, Amir...stay patient! Easy for me to say - I really must adhere to my own advice...LOL

Hmmm... Normally I would say "yes" as it is/was a decent-sounding RTR for the price. On this site, I dunno'... I have not had my 707 out of the box in many years but I think it's in pretty good shape. I thought it had pretty good sound, a little more hiss than my B77 (but substantial price difference), but not bad for average recordings. A couple of friends "in the biz" thought it was a pretty good little unit for the price, not a Studer but a cut above what they expected from a consumer deck. I guess that's a yes?

If you are interested I'd just as soon get rid of it as I am not using it and have no place for it now. (Need to sell my old ARC SP3a1 and Counterpoint SA-220 as well.) I have no experience with the 909.

PM me would you?

Caught this one today. it was hiding in the TAD booth.

Sadly, it was put behind the modern equiv. (the Mac playing high-res files).

Guess I'll have to add...to the party.

Tecnhics really risks to be banned:

Albert, we are missing you!

Is it a SME V arm? what's the other arm?
