Hello,
I acquired a PR99 MKIII which is being estimated for a service.
Apart from charging a big bunch of dollars for simple components replacements, he says the heads are worn out (6mm flat) and needs replacement (more $ to spend).
Do you really think it is an absolute necessity ?
I was planning on using the Revox for mixdown and occasionnal tape-delay (I record with a Tascam 8track). But if the performances are low due to the heads and I lose a whole bunch of frequencies in the process, this could be useless.
This is getting so expensive that I might go for a digital or DSD mixdown device like the MR1000 and sell the Revox but I am puzzled.
Is it worth the trouble ? or a high quality digital mixdown will do the trick? I would have preffered to stay entirely in the analog domain, but I try to be pragmatic right now and avoid getting grey hair.
Thank you
