for the Sep-1

I bought the dealer demo piece.I've had no problems with it since it ran
for years in the dealers showroom I don't expect to.The unit has great
flexability with all the usual imputs plus two aux's.It has separate
play and record facilities on the tape monitor for listening to one source
while taping from another.It's greatest atribute is it's clarity.It also
has a very spacious soundstage.

Product Weakness: none
Product Strengths: clarity,sounstage,tonality
