Good weekend-end all!
Since I have been messing about with my system this weekend, I have noticed that there is something missing in my setup. A recording device.
"Oh don't be silly", I hear many of you say. "Just stick it into your computer!"
Well yes, that's all well and good, but sticking my system into the computer to record is a little...a little...well a little boring, put simply. I want to be recording analogue style - no CDs or PCs involved thankyou very much.
Thus, the question arises of what I should buy. My budget is £250. I was originally thinking of a Revox B77 (I can hear Clare shouting "YES" already!) but I'm not quite sure how they work in all honesty and it seems a bit silly to me to have to adjust the recording level of each channel - that can't do the soundstage any good if you don't have it just right, can it?! So now, I am thinking of perhaps a really, really good cassette player; but which one? The Nak Dragon or the Nak CR-7E or is there another?
Sound quality is obviously my main concern. I want to be able to record the proms and make compilations and record myself and my band when we play (we are called Integrated if anyone is interested!) AND for under £250, si possible.
If anyone could suggest to me and fun and high-quality machine to do all this on, please tell me!
Many thanks from your local Vintage-Idiot,
