Uher 4200 Report, the best tape recorder?


Uher 4200 report.


What more could one ask for.


Minimal class A (electrons flowing all the time) signal path, descrete components, no ICs.


1/4in full track stereo, 7.5 ips (inch per second).


Beautiful and small.


Portable, lightweight.


5 C type battery powered with no DC to DC converters.


Motor servo control.


Excellent stability of speed.


Service man's paradise.


What a sound.


Treble extended and smooth like silk.





How would it sound with Pleiades mic prepreamps?


Signal path, setup:


(Master BASF tape recorded with Grampian ribbon mics - Sowter 1:20 transformers - Ferrograph series 6) - playback on Uher 4200 report with one channel not operating yet - Realistic disco mixer fed from 1 channel tape out and set to mono - Sennheiser HD 580
