Just had a quick shufty at UK ebay. No 388s there at the mo and, to be honest, I can't really remember the last time I did see one.

As an alternative you might like to consider the Tascam 238 which is a rackmount cassette 8 tracker.

Alternatively, if you really want to stick with R2R there's always the Fostex R8. Or, if you really need an all in one unit, the Tascam 488 MK II and the Yamaha MT8X

Note: the latter two are four buss only. IOW, you can record on all eight tracks, but only a maximum of four at a time.

388: dbx Type 1 noise reduction, 7.5 IPS
R8: Dolby C noise reduction, 15 IPS

Theoretically the R8 should have a better high end frequency response but, tbh, I'm not really sure how much better.

thanks Mark, I know these are real greenhorn questions, but I've been using digital, Roland 1680, for a few years now and a friend of mine uses analog, and the difference is astounding. All the sounds and tones I suffer to achieve with digital, he gets naturally from analog. So I'm going back to the old skool baby.

Cool (but tell him to upload louder songs next time).

If you want to hear a sample of what can be done with a 388 check out my music page on Myspace http://www.myspace.com/wwwmyspacecomspringhillfair

TBH, I don't really have the room for a mixer and recorder package and I've no desire to go back to four track or to cassette.

You could try Craigslist. They have some British sites.

Or just keep an eye on ebay.

Just listened to "Infinite Grey". Excellent production but it is severely hampered by the pretty shitty "my space" player. Can you upload it somewhere where we can download it and listen to its full fidelity ? Thanks!
