[ARSCLIST] ATR Lore

[Aaron Levinson <aaron.levinson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

An ATR-100 series 15/30 ips 1" 2-track is the Rolls Royce of all 
mastering decks. The heads may need lapping and I would make sure the 
thing is biased correctly if you plan on recording with it but that baby 
is insane. I would say the Studer may have it beat on machining of parts 
but from a sonic standpoint that is just about the finest solid-state 
beast ever made. Others may disagree but no one will question its place 
in the pantheon of audio history.

I mated the ATR transport with the legendary MR-70 electronics for a 
one-of-a-kind Frankenstein that was imho even better, but for a stock 
machine, unbeatable.
