There's an eBay sale for a X250.5 said to come from the residence of Neil Young.
So i guess Neil really does have an ear for high quality stereo! 🙂

He probably sold it because his hearing is now shot and he's satisfied with his pono and ear buds. 😀
Well...Christmas Day starts in less than 45 minutes here in Scotland! I just hope that you all enjoy it whenever it arrived / arrives with you - and that the next day is not too painful!
As probably you know, I have a STM-610, for more than ten years.
It definitely needed a little brother. 🙂
So there it is.
Now the siblings needs some tapes to play, I have found some:
PINK FLOYD MEDDLE JAPAN REEL TO REEL TAPE TOSHIBA OXA-5084 4TRACK 7 2/1IPS RARE | eBay
or this:
PINK FLOYD THE WALL 15ips 2 TRACK Reel To Reel Record MASTER TAPE | eBay
Any other idea? 😉

98.7% positive feedback is very, very poor, but obviously you aren't going to buy.....I hope
Yeah, I'm afraid, I will let these.
Maybe I will buy this:
Djabe | New Dimensions Update Live 2-track Master Tape

I'm quite sure, I've mentioned it before, this is one of my favourite quotes from Papa:
"But again, I don't have deeply held feelings about the sound of CD vs vinyl.
They're different. And I suppose if I really had my druthers I would take a nice,
high-speed, non-Dolby analog tape.
Some of the best things I've ever heard came from that source."

I'm curious, he thinks it similarly these days?

Anyway, it doesn't matter for me.
I'm sure for a long time ago, sound quality mostly depend on circumstances of recording equipment, knowledge of sound engineer.
Sound reproduction media is a secondary factor, I'm sure of that.
Above a certain level.
And what is this level?
Good question.
For me, it is double balanced Sony Vfets, first of all.
Otherwise, I'm happy with my more or less restored hearing, what can I say anymore?
I have beers, nothing else matters.
