I have used these machines since the early eighties. They are solid and consistent! The dual capstans make for a superior, stable movement of tape and consistent tape-to-head contact. The sonic quality is outstanding and definitely has the warm sought after analog sound. The ferrite and ferrite heads are fenominal and never show hardly any signs of wear. They will outlast the machine. The logic controls are easy to work with and handle the tape well. I really have liked being able to "punch in" recordings with no audible 'pops'. This truly is the machine to have for your set up. Sony did it right.
