Agree the Tascam 122 is the only cassette deck I have owned so far that challenges my R2Rs
The one in the photo is a mk 2 but I also have a Mk3 now which needs some work but will be interesting to see how good it is compared to the Mk2
I also have a Tandberg TCD440A which again needs work but is also supposed to be very good
Does Alex post any details of the mods he does to the tascam 122?
