I have spent a bit of time over the last few days considering the purchase of a Studer C37 reconditioned by Tim de Paravicini. After a brief consult with MikeL and a lengthy consult with my Studer technician I have decided against it.
I texted you: "Do you have an opinion on the sound of Studer C37 versus A820?"
You replied: "I heard the c37 separately to the A820 not same system, but it replaced A80 and sounded better, but both left me cold. I would rather spend money on Doshi preamp for a lower priced tape deck."
