I wonder if the design helped with the price point, I should copy that field recorder test article from Walkman Archaeology to here to compare the pricing. How does the little Sony R2R compare to the Nagra?
when i have my phase of playing around with them, i come to the conclusion, the Sony makes the best recordings of those units i have. my Nagra III probably had the hardest life, but it's that tough built, you can throw it off a running car and it will survive. the Nagra III is mono and a few years older, the Sony and Uher are stereo, but besides that, the Nagras are the most professional units. built like a swiss chronometer etc., but handling is a bit strange, if you don't use it permanent. also funny adapters for this and that (i think you know what i mean), plain fast winding in any direction takes an effort, where the Sony and the Uher are much more easy and self explaining. clear control-switches and buttons... however, my insignificant ranking as collector (and weirdo) off my units: top#1 Sony TC510/2 top#2 Nagra SN top#3 Nagra III top#4 Uher 4400 Monitor ...but please ask me again in a few month, i'm convinced, the ranking has changed
Sony was big into making everything smaller, this must have been one of their last before smaller designs came. It makes me wonder what the smallest VU meter is? The Marantz PMDs have round dials about 1" diameter. Older equipment had the small square style but they weren't as cool looking. Thanks for sharing.
