    I have an RS1500 and I think its one of the best looking R2Rs out there it sounds superb has a unique tape transport and just works like a dream
    Separating out the Record replay amplification like the RS1800 would be a dream for me

    Technics seldom sent their really high end gear to the UK.
    We were too busy peering up our own arses thanks to the marketing supremacy of the likes of Naim and Linn.

    Very nice Alan, lovely machines.
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
