Which MTS head is the most reliable?

[shred-o-holic]

The RM-50, RM 100, or RM 20?

Is it that there are more 100's out there that they "appear" the most unreliable or are there alot of lemons out there? And.....out of the breakdowns what is the common problem?

There are alot of 100's to be had on the cheap it seems......but if an RM-50 per say has less issue in it's mass track history........might be a better option in the future. So far I love my RM-20......wouldn't mind a 50 down the road maybe.....but the 100's I had were buggy suckers......but again they were early production models.....are they improved?

I have my own option of why there is reliability issues with some MTS units. Blowing fuses ( my most common issue ) seemed to be related to the power transformer in my RM100. I replaced that and haven't had a fuse blow yet.

The only other thing that worries me now are the Su'Scon electrolytic caps. They are used everywhere my RM100 and I just don't trust them. The reason why is they are on the hit list of companies that use a discounted dielectric related to the Mobo and power supply cap failure plague in PCs.
