    Isn't that Beatle Fred's setup?

    Yep - I know all about the 1000ZXL Limited - but the Dragon looks like the flight deck of Concorde so well cool.

    Chris - I nearly got one of those Technics R2Rs for £100 in Exeter's Smack Generators about 3 years ago. Wish I had now, looking back on it... It had gone the next time I looked :(

    I know a guy in Torquay who has one on display in his gadget shop. It looks superb.

    ...why pivot the arm when you can simply move the platter instead...

    I have absolutely no use for one of these, but I still want one...

    Too much "Mission Impossible"/James Bond/etc as a kid I think :)

    Re: Nagra SNST

    I just saw that unit a month or two ago at a dealer. Very nice unit.
    The Nagra T is my favourite. If I find one for a reasonable price I will buy it!

    Goldmund previously mentioned:

    and the budget Technics 1200:

    Both in their respective categories are great pieces of Hi Fi history.

    I've got one of these LTD's. Very nice it is too, although arguably not the last word in musical reproduction.
    It is however the only acceptable source on which to play Hip-Hop and Electro.
