Technics RS 1506,is it best Open Reel ?


Hi, I'm going to buy a Technics rs 1506 us open reel tape recorder,asking price $800. Is there anybody who can tell me if this is the best 2-4 tracks tape deck? How does it sound? How its sound compares whith lps played on a high end turntable,arm and cartridge? Thanks, Fulvio

Hi,thanks for your post.I think I'll not use for live recording,but only for playback. I saw many 2 and 4 track tapes for sale. I know that master tapes should play better than lps,but I fear that what I can
butI fear what I can buy is only second generation tape,isn't it?. I saw also master dubs tapes for sale.Are they similar to master tapes? Thanks.
