Thanks for the explanation, now I understand.

>>>...there is not a single truly revered, high end analogue deck out there that I know of.<<<

What about Studer Revox? Or Nakamichi? Or how about this for a high-end analog tape deck:

I agree with what your saying - there are people obsessed with perfection, willing to pay an extra $20,000 for a THD reduction of .005%. I read an article once in Audio Magazine about how they arc-welded steel plates together using a Mark Levinson solid state amplifier that retailed for over $5,000. They made some minor modifications to circumvent the overload protection circuit, but basically amplified a certain frequency to do it. Now why would that help justify spending the money for this piece of audio gear? You'd break your back trying to lift one up, they weigh over 60 lbs. Oh yeah, if your want stereo, you'll have to buy two.

Won't we be needing digital VCR's someday?
