Re: I'm thinking about getting a Stellavox TD-9. Any reason I shouldn't?

Toml,

As another poster mentioned - get one and have a ball!

I have never heard one. There are only a few in the US and at least two of them are broken. Record/play electronics are based on the SP series.

I'd suggest you think about what you want to do with it. If it's playback only, then I'd consider a deck like the Technics 1500 modded with the playback heads wired out directly to RCA's to plug into a tube preamp. I also have a 1500 here and will be trying some mods on the electronics (basically better caps) to try and see how good it can sound against my "hot rodded" stellavox SP7. Others have had some high end Studers modified.

If playback AND record, you should look for something smaller and easier to "tote around".

Pre-recorded tapes are available. Try Ebay or Email me directly and I'll put you in touch with a gentleman who makes master dubs from an extensive collection of classical and jazz titles.
