I was not hostile. Just pointing out your misconceptions and idiotic comments. "I will leave the struggle to you" on that. And I suggest you brush up on your English as well.
"1/4 track is not the same quality as 1/2 track."
Never said it was. I simply said that if you want the BEST POSSIBLE RECORDINGS of certain albums, they will be on 1/4 track, not half-track. Why? Because they do not exist on half track unless you own the master tapes!
"I have the best possible recordings in my own possession."
So you have the master tapes of all the Miles Davis tapes? And I suppose you have the Beatles master tapes on 1/2 track too? What good are the "best possible recordings" if nobody other then yourself wants to listen to them? For example, the "best possible recording" of the Beatles "White Album" is 1/4 track, 7.5 ips. Are you stating you have the 1/2 track masters to beat that??? If NOT, then you DO NOT have the "best possible recording". And to say an Otari is "overkill" to play back that best possible recording of the 1/4 track Beatles album is simply insane. No deck would be overkill to play back that 1/4 track tape Dolph----it deserves the BEST, because it is the BEST!
"I suggest you calm down and research the market over a longer period and have some listening to better R2R machines..............through better surrounding gear."
I know the market. I know the tapes----from the "best possible" masters I have, to tape project tapes I have, to half and quarter track commercial examples I have. And I know the decks, from Scully to Ampex to Otari to Studer; whatever. The Otari stands up well to anything. I would put the MX-5050 B3 which is still sold new today against any deck you have laying around, no matter the price. Period.
In closing, my 6 audio systems have plenty of great sounding gear. Don't see any of yours listed though, hmmmmmmmm......
Like I said, good stuff Dolph!!! Hope you get off your "high horse" soon. I will leave the struggle to you.
Regards,
Joel
