the few guys that do have 234, 122, or C-machines all love them. I've yet to hear a Tascam/Teac guy bitch those machines.You're right about the 234, it lacks the home-audio options. The only reason I considered it is, these units are now going for dirt cheap- many times a beat up 234 goes for less than a 122. The Teac C-machines are very rarely even for sale- which speaks volumes about their quality.
What's the actual difference between a 122 and C-deck ? It looks like the only diff is, the rack mount and lack of feet on the 122, and the color- am I right here ?
These machines with metal tape at 3.75 IPS, have specs like an older reel to reel at 7.5 IPS. Can't beat the compact cassette for storage either. The one downside is, 90 min tapes become 45 min. at 3.75
