    Very good podcast.
    If I may make a suggestion, the subtitles continuously misspell a lot of words (reebok 77, Pi 99) which makes comprehending a challenge at least.
    It is possible to 'overtype' those words in the YT subtitle option.

      I am planning a webinar on the Uher 4000 series machines. Please look on my Facebook page - Reel Resilience to see when I advertise it. The next webinar in on noise reduction on the 29th October 2022 so it will not be before then. I may try and squeeze the next webinar before the end of 2022 but if not then certainly Jan 2023.

    Please, which one sounds better: B67 or A700 ? (well mantained, recapped, aligned)

      I have both machines (B67 Mk1 in an A80 trolley with overbridge). The A700 is not a "consumer B67" as some may think. Yes it does use some B67 parts eg the spool platters and transport switches, and some parts look similar eg the tension arms (but they are different). The '67 was built as a professional machine with easy servicing in mind and can be configured a number of ways - there were about 80 different combinations of it, from mono version to ones that ran at 30ips to others that had the amp crate under the machine. An example of build quality is that the B67 has separate, easy accessible amp and control cards in a dedicated rack whilst the A700 has a small audio amp "box" located behind the rear cover. In terms of absolute audio quality the B67 uses higher quality components eg the trim pots are sealed devices whilst on the A700 they are cheaper skeleton types. The PCB quality is of better standard than the A700. But ultimately it depends upon what you want from a machine. I can use and move my A700 fairly easily in my listening room. I pick it up and carry it. The B67 needs wheeling in an takes up space! For ongoing consistent audio quality the B67 has the advantage, its a better built machine, but all machines will suffer it not looked after. In a true blind test, using aligned and well maintained machines, I would defy many to tell the difference in audio quality.
