Ampex electronics for the best possible sound
One of my motivations for giving the 354 a chance was the assumption, and it is nothing more than a guess, was that as it was among the last of the tube electronics in the Ampex timeline the design would have benefited from all of the experiences of the preceding units. The other factor was...- Tom B.

Ampex electronics for the best possible sound
Roger, Weren't you at one point working on restoring Ampex 354 electronics? I seem to recall something about that from another forum a while back. The 354 machines (electronics in particular as the transports are virtually identical to the rest of the 35X series), are relatively...- Tom B.

Noise Reduction for Reel to Reel
Isn't it correct that any variant of Dolby NR is useless in playback unless the tape was originally recorded with that specific scheme? Or, does it afford some benefit when used with non-Dolby media? Tom- Tom B.

Is it actually a 350 and not a 351? Without seeing the power supplies or the telltale 'dot' it is difficult to distinguish. In either case I would have put the Furman at the bottom of the rack, which is basically where Ampex recommended putting the power supplies for rack-mounted units. Tom- Tom B.
