Good list of duplicators, Goran, but David, I don't think you want any of the duplicating gear - you want playback gear, and not to go that high speed I think. Double or 4x doing both sides (if it has that kind) will save plenty of time. Duplicating gear means to go to the copies at that high speed, and your A/D would need to be deisgned for high frequency response and I don't think you can do digitizing at more than 4x without results suffering a lot - even for voice. Anyone here done any real world experiments?
