I have no excuse for purchasing that at all other than it was the 80s and I was young and foolish. I already had a relatively profesh Fostex 4 track so what the heck was I thinking..?

I'm ashamed to admit that i still look at Amstrad Studio 100s on eBay and can feel the stirrings of temptation. I have resisted so far!
I has an Amstrad TS56 tower system that I loved at the time. However, even I can remember feeling sure that the fact you could hear the plastic ribs of the platter passing under the stylus during quiet moments was a bad thing...
