Hi my friends it's nice to meet you! I wonder if someone has both these decks. I have V-8030s I baught it new in 1999. In fact my favourite brand wasn't TEAC ..it was AIWA but in 1999 you couldn't find a brand new AIWA in stores like Excelia 9000 or 7000. So i decided to go on TEAC 8030 , it's a nice deck with heavy built and excelent acoustic but there is something very disapointing about the accuracy of the counter. If you set a point it's very difficult for the deck to reach it 100% . Of course in the display it may say that the point is reached, but in the reallity the tape is not in the marked point. Does 8000 do this ? I just want to know if this is an original manufacturer malfunction Or is because the 8030 is made in Taiwan instead of 8000 that is made in Japan! Thank you.
By the way, amorphous head used in 8000 and 8030 ?
