After years of only running 4 track machines, I finally have a 2 track pro unit. The analog magic is sublime.

    No, it's 1/4" tape and at 15 ips, it is just wicked good.

    Hello, Wardsweb. How much coin did this set you back, if you don't mind me asking? I won't even bother to ask how long it took you to get this kind of deal. Congrat's none the less! It looks to be mint.

    Enjoy the music.

    Let's just say good karma has a way of coming full circle. You've heard it all before. You reap what you sow. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Give without expectation of return. You never know when the person you treated nice has the ability to return the favor 10 fold.

    That is a great deck! Congratulations! What reel is that on the right side? I can't quite read the writing on it. I've never seen that reel before. I like the circle, square, and triangle paterns on it. Nice!

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....
