Strength:
Some have doubt with the dual closed loop capstan, but my opninion about this is to measure it with other decks. Nor the take-up reel or the supply reel need more tension to lead the tape through the heads. This is done by the 2 capstan flywheels who have 2 different diameters each. While one capstan will run slightly slower than the other, Richardson Mobile Truck Repair Weakness:
None . . Purchased: New

Strength:
Detailed, fast, smooth, remote control, looks cool!

Not the most spacious pre around. Surprisingly detailed and fast, especially for the money. Similar Products Used: Concordant Exquisite, Rowland Consummate, Audio Research SP11/2, Linn Kolector |

Strength:
Good looks,remote control, balanced output, reasonably detailed, smooth, warmish, adds weight and presence to leanish systems
Weakness:
Will come across as syrupy, heavy, closed-in and lethargic in transparent systems Had it for 5 years but not used often as its weaknesses did not win me over. Its performance is boosted if you play around with the power supply polarity (you can revert it at the power cord plug). By switching the +ve and -ve polarities of the power supply, you could determine in which polarity your unit will work best. Similar Products Used: Sonograph, Audio Research LS1, Octave M7i kit |

Strength:
quite smooth sounding
Weakness:
being a hybrid design- neither fish nor fowl initially, the impression l had was of a a component which had some of the virtues of valves but does not have the hard edge of some solid state designs. for me, there was not enough "bite" to the sound, an excellent match for the F15 power amplifier. fairly fast sounding and good value for money. an excellent buy used.
