In the big scheme of things Analog. Will this be of interest to you? Do you have a collection of tapes needing a machine to playback on. I am assuming 1/4 to 1/2 track support. The images suggest 1/4 inch tape format. With Vinyl, and Cassette, and now Reel to Reel not going away anytime soon. Makes Digital mavens cringe I am sure. To me it is a great variety of getting it done. If you dig Tubes, Analog, and it brings you closer to your musical Nirvana? Than rock on. No one has the say so what your system is, or is not, except you.
That being said, I am just wondering what will the price be for this machine. How many will really buy vs. say they want it, and never buy it. Revivals are hard to make work right. Like a sequel to already great movie. How do you top it? You can't make it the same. Or in this Analog world, could you? Allot of the new generation is discovering records for the first time.
Third Man Records here in Nashville, and one of my favorite accounts has quite a following of young, and young at heart enthusiasts frequenting their locale, and buying Cassettes, and Records.
So I think the landscape looks good for all who love music. Downloads are great, and fun, and easy to do. But there is still something to be said about the Analog experience to shop for a certain record or tape along with others. Sharing what is going on is part of the event. Sharing is one of audio's, and music's finest qualities. Be good to each other, and keep the music playing.

My cousin still has, I think, an old Teac and he spent some years in the 80s buying up reels of all the decent music he could.
