I thought I'd have another go at writing a review. It's a bit easier than doing a scientific or medical paper, that's for sure.

It's not as ascerbic as my old boss, Ken Kessler. He taught me a fair bit about hi-fi back in the late 70s at Canterbury Hi-Fi, before he launched into his reviewing career.

I really enjoyed doing the review, as I tried to do this as well as I could. 2 different R2R machines and several 15IPS tapes listened to almost every evening over a fortnight. Some of the evenings weren't even fuelled by alcohol - an unusual thing for a medic!

Please feel free to comment about the review. The actual piece of equipment isn't that important, as I would appreciate some feedback about the quality of the writing and review, rather than the subject matter itself. It seemed like a good way to integrate my interest in hi-fi, music and photography.

You see I hated english as subject at school, so this is a bit of a departure for me

Andrew, Marco and James,

Many thanks for your mind words of encouragement. Not sure I would want to do it for a living, but the odd one here and there is fun.
