which was rumored to exist...??? I got some good info on the Revox from somebody, and tried to convince him to publish it on the Net; maybe he will. Furtherless I think it was reviewed in some audio rag which I'm sure everybody out there reads and believes unquestioningly. (I'm beginning to feel blissful in my ignorance.) I grew up with my tweaker in my hand and am used to recording-studio equipment which has little holes in it for me to poke my tweaker into and any equipment that doesn't have those little holes in it and does things equivalent to poking its OWN tweaker into its OWN little holes INTERNALLY where I can't even WATCH, vill be zent to der konzentrazionkampf!!!! I want all the EQ, bias, etc. etc. adjustments I can get my tweaker into, right out there looking ugly and spoiling all the brushed-aluminum aesthetics and being generally unacceptable in polite society. How cum on studio equipment they put the tweaks out where you can get at them? How come they don't just replace them with wonderful auto-bias adjust and outstanding factory-aligned heads and fabulous fixed EQ and ??? Gee... Maybe it's because they don't have to build studio equipment so Barbie and Ken can operate it without the benefit of a brain? or a tweaker? heh heh... Someone I know just had the outstanding modern epoxy-glued separate-head assembly in his outstanding modern Sony TCK-555 REPLACED on WARRANTY because the playback level on one channel had SLOWLY dropped to about 10 dB below the other channel, as the outstanding modern epoxy glue or something slowly shrank. I suppose this is an argument for a single record/play head, in some people's minds. As far as I'm concerned, it is an argument for giving me another screw to tweak. Oi!
