Otherwise, you won't be mucking around with obsolete equipment like those :).Anyway, I've heard what a 1/2" tape sounds like from the Studer A820 reel to reel machine. A salesman who used to manage a high-end store has two of them. One was for playback only and the other one was for record and playback. They were both housed on an OEM Studer machines cart with wheels. He tried to sell me one of them, but due to the lack of funds, I've ended up buying the Revox A77 instead from him of which he has three laying around. According to him, he bought them from one of the recording studios that went out of business.
In hindsight, I wish I was able to afford it.
