1977 Technics RS-1500 The overall subjective results were considered rather average, and perha\ ps a better choice of tape would . have been advisable. In particular, the slow speed performance was most \ disappointing, and the sound quality here was rather more ragged at HF than on many of the other mach\ ines operating at this speed. The quarter-track replay head is actually situated before the erase head, an\ d record drop-in is thus a little awkward because of the great distance between the erase head and record head aro\ und the loop. Tape threading was a little awkward but in other ways the machine was liked. The machine's price is very high and we just cannot feel that it is comp\ etitive, and so a recommendation for purchase is not really appropriate. It did seem however, that the review\ sample was below par, so another example might have fared better, particularly if used with a better tape\ type.
