Here are two shots of my present system.
Top Deck is the tape decks and Tuner, then going down the turntable, amplifier and cassette deck underneath, next to it all is one the recently purchased TDL RTL4 speakers which I recovered as I have an aversion to black ash.
The Toshiba reel to reel is a quiet hero I have had Sony 377s and Akai 4000 machines `it not only sounds aswell if not slightly better than those machines it has a useful feature they do not have, and that is adjustable bias pre-sets and internal oscillator to help you set it up with the use of the VU meters.
I am very happy with the sound of this system, large scale sound with a big soundstage and very deep bass, excellent separation between instruments. I am going to adjust the cross overs on the speakers a little but that's all
