How much is a decent 24ch Tascam 3500 worth?

[Track Rat]

About $1250 US.

Do you think their worth it if I got that and a HD24? Thats about all I can afford right now.

That is exactly what I'm running with no complaints (well, one complaint). The M3500 tape inputs are -10 unbalanced and the outputs of the HD24 are +4 balanced. They'll still play nice together and I think it sounds pretty damn good.

Can you tell moe some on it(M3500)? I've heard its noisy but not sure how much. Nice pic

It's not so bad. Routing is pretty flexable and 24 tape returns plus 24 line inputs for aux returns (not to mention the 4 actual aux returns) is pretty handy. I don't have any appriciable noise in the system.
