A local friend (Martin S) has a couple of R2R units for anyone who ends up buying a few recordings and wants to listen to them. Just let me know and we can organize to head down when suits.
Although me personally, won't bother heading down R2R path. Have more then enough classical on vinyl lp records and practically all new music releases I've been digging are only available on digital download format (CDs are dead for me in that regard).
