I also found the APR lacking, not because of the sound, but because of the limited adjustment range. Using MDAC's to adjust settings instead of continuous trimpots always left me choosing a too high or too low setting, none really line up with those 1/4 db increments.

An Audio Precision really shows how you can get close, but still no cigar as to a precision alignment. Compared to the previous model, the JH-110C, that deck can be precisly aligned to the point of getting a 32k hz frequency response at 30 IPS and .15% THD at +9 on GP-9 vs .55% stock at +3 on 456 tape fomulas.
