Oh ok, it didn't come with a PSU, I s'pose but came with a standard
connector for a standard psu.

For a fair while I was playing sound on a 2 speed PC CD drive which had
a front panel play / next button.

hardly hifi but the computer industry knows how to keep the price down
and deliver the goods...

Local recording studio tells me they downgrade from 2" tape to CD.

2" tape is a multi-track recording medium used in the intermediate
production stages of a recording. CD is an end user replay medium. It is a
no more valid comparison than between a bus and a car - no one uses 2"
tape for domestic replay.

They also use valve componented kit.

As main or outboard equipment?

By very very few. Try buying the tape stock if you don't believe me.
