that system , same as mine cost 75k new
the problem is that the tapes they used have the same kind of shedding problems as analog tapes except baking the tapes is far less successful so most of the masters as just rooted

i have used ours about ten times in the last 12 months , even at that sale price (which they probably wont reach) it make no sense nothing makes sense on evilbay any more

a guy on one of the US mastering forums was offering the same system a couple of years ago, for the cost of postage. it was headed for the dumpster.

the meters are pretty good though.
