I have two machines- Tandberg TD20A and a Pioneer RT 909. I mostly use mine for recording stuff from Sky Arts HD and similar, gigs that are not available any other way. There is also a lot of extremely well recorded acoustic concerts that just sound fantastic on R to R. The Tandberg is a truly superb sounding machine, the Pioneer lags a bit by comparison but is so pretty it’s worth having just to look at. :-)
“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”
