These are the guys who make the new RTR's that people in the audiophile community are going bat crazy for.  It's not actually a Tascam, it's made by a bunch of guys called United Home Audio.  Their latest is called the Ultimata 2, and yeah, 21K.  RTR is really the ultimate analog, but the tapes are mad expensive.  $250 I think new.  Believe it or not though, 21K [B]is cheap[/B] for high end transducer front ends (Turntables, Tape decks etc).  High end (not audiophile stuff, which are cheaper) TT's really  start at about 8k and can go up to about [B]$1,000,000![/B]  Fortunately including arm, although not all.  High end cartridges start at about 2k and can go up to about [B]50K!  [/B]All of these high end companies make little profit from long and costly R&D and meager sales.  It's a rarified world for sure, but the high end of any product is going to be costly.  By the way, it was the audiop(h)ile community that invented the terms "High Definition" and "High End".
