Thanks. You've about sold me on the tascams. I read in a post somewhere that the 308/312 etc are at -10db. Don't know if that's right. Since my otari is at +4 is that going to be a problem?

More than 8, but I haven't thought through that. I of course want to be able to monitor the tape while recording, and not having to patch all the time would be nice, so maybe 16, but I'm mostly concerned with getting the best sounding pre's, eq's and mixing and such that I can afford and then...

Good point, that I had not thought about, however the Soundcraft M series does have that. Unblalanced, definitely +4 and maybe -10 but I don't remember. I'm open to suggestions on good sounding older mixers.

4 band EQ, groups, control room mix that's separate from master. I could get by with one of the smaller ones that doesn't have those, but only if the sound quality is just as good. I haven't decided how much I want to spend. No more than $2000.

He's including the MRL. I will pick it up. I've seen $300-700 but those are always as is with no work done on them. He's charging a lot because of the upgrades and new parts and calibrating it. I'm new to tape so I'm not sure I want to mess with a machine that isn't already running right. And I...

I'm looking at an Otari MX5050 8 track asking price $2000. I know I can get one for a lot less, but it has had a lot of work by supposedly qualified people and looks to be in top shape. Is that too much $? Here's the details: New Athan Pinch roller 2007 70% heads as of 2004, never used since...
