I relied on them from my first deck, a model 6 bought used forty-five years ago, until about 2000. About once a year, one of my decks would need to go in for service, leaving me operating on two. Performance was superb, but regular service was mandatory. By the time I bought the Studer, I had replaced the Tandbergs with Teacs - slightly inferior in performance and tape handling, but far more reliable. Today, the only supplement to the Studer in my operation is a two-track Uher. That won't last long; the only accessible service shop informed me on its last visit that it was not welcome to return.
