so i've decided that i'm kind of tired of only having 8 tracks (adat), and at the same time im tired of digital. So im thinking a 16 track reel to reel sounds fantastic. But getting an affordable 16 track like the fostex e-16 or g-16 makes me nervous because it's still only 1/2 inch. Ive been looking at the 16 track 1" otari's.. but man are those expensive and not too common either. So i guess my question is, how much of a difference is there really? I could get a TSR-8 or something for now but i know eventually i'm going to want a 16 track. thanks.
