AUDIO 6/1996: upper class, 65 points, 3 ears
stereo play 11/1996: top-class III, price - to - performance ratio: good. "Well-equipped, fast-winding recorder with a distinctive playback that is also very low-noise due to its thin-film head" (p.55)
STEREO 8/1996: Test rating Very good, 2 stars. "Thin-film head instead of Dolby S: Tech nics is trying to get a grip on the noise with a completely new scanning principle - with good success. The dynamics are excellent, the sound is balanced to slightly high-pitched..."
