[rec.audio.high-end] Three head/dual capstan deck info wanted

felemur@uwovax.uwo.ca (11/28/90)

I am looking for a three head, dual capstan cassette deck.

I looked at an AIWA that fits this description. The price was $499.00 canadian
in toronto. 

Does anyone know if this is an OK machine for the $$$. Does anyone have any
advice on a better one for the money? I was hoping to stay below the $600.00
canadian price range. (It would be nice to afford some tapes).

On the subject of tapes, are the Sony metal tapes the best deal for the money
in the high end as a recent canadian publication said? Is there any advice for
me here?

Thank-you in advance for any help. I will be buying a deck right after
Chistmass, so this info is not just for the archives.
