It has just so happened that I am not too familiar with the consumer Sony machines - besides some very old experience, which does not count.

Today I own some Pioneer decks, but I only use them for background sound in my office... I know that the TR-2022 has a very respectable sound, but that is not a consumer model.

That is also true of the decks such as Teac or Revox. I had some X-series Teacs, and those were OK, but not great, their main issue was the transport. The A-series Teacs are actually not bad at all, but as you know, they are more semi-pro machines and compete with some Revoxes.

The TC-770 is a fine machine, if you don't mind to be limited by its 7" reels and 7.5ips speed - it has very respectable sound. Their TC-510 model I never tried for sound quality, as it is limited to 5" reels, but it is a beauty.

I never owned the big consumer or semi-pro Sony's... not that I have anything against them, some of them look very nice, and Sony knows a few things about the sound.

I have never owned any Akai decks... maybe because their prices seem too high for consumer machines.

Tandbergs, such as TD-20A are great to look at, but one look inside spoils the impression... however, as you know, enough people love their sound.
