Features:Tandberg TD20A-SE reel to reel tape deck – one of the best tape recorders ever made (sounds much better than REVOX A-77). Tandberg has a long-standing reputation for the creation of excellent audiophile tape recorders. In fact, for years Tandberg recording technique set the performance standard for the industry. To quote Tandberg: “The TD20A-SE features the unique tape equalization circuit which improves the S/N ratio up to 80 dB without any noise reduction circuits involved. Along with the special equalization, this Tandberg includes the patented Dyneq headroom extension system. Dyneq automatically adjusts the high-frequency amplification (record boost) of the musical signals avoiding overload of the tape. Possible distortion is thus prevented and signal strength may be increased dramatically without tape saturation, resulting in a substantial increase in the maximum record level. This directly translates to a capability unheard of in Analog recorders; to reproduce both live musical performances along with the newest digital and direct discs with their associated dynamic range. Also, in the TD20A-SE is Tandberg’s Actilinear recording system. As Dyneq allows headroom expansion for the tape, Actilinear allows headroom expansion for the record circuit electronics. All recording stages have an upper signal level limitation which, when exceeded, gives rise to unacceptable distortion levels due to overload. In fact, the amplifier “clips” just as a power amplifier may “clip” when driven beyond its rated power. Acitilinear reduces this limitation by increasing record amplifier headroom up to 20 dB, thus reducing IM and slew induced distortions.The TD20A-SE transport is no less sophisticated than its electronics. It utilizes a four motor solenoid-less system controlled by a prom (programmable read-only memory) microprocessor logic. This enables direct access to all transport operations with no for tape damage or mishandling. Flying start record/editing is possible as are high-speed cue and review along with sel/sync. A photoelectric end stop is utilized and all motor functions are initiated with solid-state switching devices both silently and instantly without any relays.”
