Nah, it's the smell of those old circuit boards
Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

I'm Ezio.
I'm very happy with my Revox B77 MKII, two tracks, 19-38 cm/sec..
Heavy, friendly, high quality sound..
But also my two Grundigs, the TS-925 and the TS-1000 are not so bad..
Ciao.
