Micro:
I also feel that a machine without bridge will sound better, as the signal flow will be shorter. But sometimes this is not true. Most people agree that no bridge is better performance. I have not heard but it makes sense as the signal is routed more direct with bridge removed.
I think most of the debate about the A820 versus A80 audio performance is due to the presence of the old NE5532 IC used in the audio boards of the first one versus the discrete transistors of the A80.
Exactly. That's the same answer I get from everyone. A80 simple circuit versus A820. I spoke to a Studer expert over the weekend and they pointed out the reason for the design of the A820 and subsequent complexity.
The A80 has one EQ, you must remove circuit boards to change. The A80 has two speeds, 7.5 & 15 or 15 & 30. The A820 can do it all and almost on the fly. For a studio this is a big deal.
Even in my system the EQ is split between NAB and IEC, making the removal of A80 circuit board more frequent that I would be comfortable with.
I could easily live with the 7.5 and 15, I have no 3.75 tapes and no 30 tapes. Still, the audiophile in me wishes for the flexibility and beauty of the A820.
Last, the two machines in top condition still differ in tape handling. Experts tell me the A820 is the champ in that department.
Perhaps this is important, perhaps not. In our life time we could not pile on the hours a commercial studio would do in a year.
