RE: Well, you know me... :)

I've always thought the Lyrec decks were aesthetically beautiful machines. Never used one or heard or seen specs, but they sure looked nice.

But I'm still partial to the Studer A80 VU as the most elegant-looking deck ever, even though the Ampex ATR-101 and 102 outperform it sonically.

There was a time when I really, really wanted an Ampex ATR or an A80, but I'm over it now. What would I do with it? Play 30 - 50 year old tapes? Record birds in the back yard? :( :)
