That is why A77 is Revox... it IS semi-pro

But once you look inside you know it was designed by the professional tape recorder designers, there are many elements of the pro design in it - things such as sturdy die cast construction, modular design.

Which is much more than you can say about many other "semi-pro" machines, many of them were simply slightly pumped up consumer models.

Regarding the lack of XLR's - it is better to be honest and just provide good quality RCA than cheat and create a mediocre XLR solution - like that in the PR99.

Please don't misunderstand - I totally get the "semi-pro" aspect.

But, still, for a deck of that quality, I wish it weren't such a pain to do splicing on!!

I know, decades ago, there was a third-party modification to change the frontal design to better accommodate editing. Maybe it was good, maybe it was crap - I didn't pursue it.

  This is not a deck for editing, no argument... but look at Technics promoting their RS-1800 as a PRO model... try to do editing on THAT one. :)
