The first-best-last analog item you ever bought



I bought a Heathkit WAP- 2, twenty watt dual chassis amplifier in 1955. My grandpa, in the midwest it's grandpa and not grandfather, told me to buy a Magnavox console and be done with it. Little did he know where my choice would take me 53 years later.

Today, my best and last investment is in a RTR machine. The machines are cheap when compared to the alternatives. Unfortunately the software is scarce and expensive
.
Nothing good comes cheap. How about your thoughts.

My first real foray into reel to reel was an Ampex 350 transport with a pair of 351 electronics. I still have it. I've seen it eat a lot of newer tape machines for breakfast. I am certain it is by no means the best tape machine out there, but it will give the best (whatever that might be) a serious run for the money.

I've had the Ampex MR-70, Otari MX-70, Ampex ATR-100, Nagra, Magnacord, Studer, various Tascams and Sonys...

I really like having a Mcintosh MR-67 tuner in my system. It sounds great and look cool. Tubes.........
