Questions for the seller
I can vouch for these 42-NB machines as I purchased a nearly identical unit from Soren about a year ago. It is the finest source device I’ve yet to hear. Better than the other megabuck R2R’s being sold to us audiophiles.
Hi audiofun. Your comments are much appreciated. I am glad that you are enjoying the machine. We'll get yours up to 3rd gen. after Christmas.
Is this machine as good or better (?) than the one I heard in Texas you completely redid? Amazing machine but is this one as good or even better?
Hi Jonathan. Yes, it will out perform the machine you are speaking of. This is 3rd generation in terms of my work on upgrading this machine.
What are the overall dimensions of this machine?
Hi. The machine is 11" deep from front of head shield to end of rear feet. It's 17" wide and stands 20" tall. Very similar in size to a Studer A810.
