Anyone buys master tape dubs ?


They are $300-$600 from reliable sources. Are they worth it ? Not that I am thinking of it at present..

Bottlehead has a nice tube rtr forum, tapes ( w royalty to the artists if that is important to you ) and some links to kit built tube electronics for your deck.
Yes, master tape dubs are great and they are extremely addicting...will make you go broke quick!
I’m all in for exchanging tapes. I have a couple of fully calibrated Studers ready to copy tapes.
No. The Otari 5050 sound is more focused and modern when compared to Studer A810, Studer sounds bigger and more open but it’s personal preference IMO.
What makes the Studer A810 desirable is it is the best tape handler of all the compact machines. It is extremely gentle on tapes, very well built, sounds great, modular, lots of parts remaining in case something goes wrong, has a professional pedigree, and it’s a Studer.
