RE: Those are very conservative specs

The specs are straight out of the manual.

Look for yourself.

http://recordist.com/ampex/schematics/351man/351man.pdf

It's on page 6 of the manual.

You're the only one claiming the HF response extends beyond the specs that Ampex published.

You can post all the graphs you want, but they are meaningless. We don't have any idea what you are doing to generate them.

If I had to guess, though, you're picking up the bias oscillator rather than any kind of useful signal on the high end.

And here's another thing to chew on...look at the S/N ratio. It's 55 dB unweighted. That's about 9 bits.

So, we can conclude that your favorite tape machine is really a 9 bit/30 Khz recorder. That's a whole lot less than 16/44.1 now, isn't it?

And where did you get the "hate" thing? Seems to me you have a real "us v. them" issue - anyone that disagrees with you is an enemy for some unjustified reason.
