No idea. I guess towards AES there should be more information available.

Betreff: Re: [ARSCLIST] AW: [ARSCLIST] Studer getting back into analog tape machines?

Any idea what they will cost?  Frankly, a playback-only machine seems like a really good idea to me.  I can't imagine wanting to record anything on tape these days, when excellent digital recording devices are so prevalent.
 A small handheld digital recorder that records to a chip can easily outperform any analog tapedeck of the past.  The utility of tape machines now is really playback.

Best,
John Haley
