Hi Adrian:
I'm a Sansui enthusiast- but for their amplifiers, receivers, and tuners, not so much their recorders. And I believe that model isnt a multitrack machine anyway.
I stil think this model is the one to get, its a superb machine:
I'm leaning twds a 414mkII which I think I can get, and will be a good starting tool I think, while continuing to hunt for local stuff.
I still ship across the world with Fed Ex World Wide, smooth as silk, all forms filled up before shipping and delivery to the buyers door without any hassel at all.
UK and Canada are the only country's I had problems with when it comes to heavy items.
One thing that's surprise me when shipping US-Mail across the border, it takes longer time then shipping to Australia, wonder why ?
You have problems because of the Canadian government. Shipping to the U.S. is easy. Do it the other way and it is a pain in the but. As for overseas, everthing is Air Mail. So ya way quicker. I have shipped to Europe and Australia and they have recieved it in 3 days. To the U.S. a couple of weeks. Because it goes by truck.
How easy is it for you to get cassette tapes? (not normal bias but high bias)
This may be a dumb question, but knowing very little, , I'm going to ask it. I think I want to record a mono demo (yes I'm weird) - does this mean I wouldn't be able to mix it properly or monitor it or something on the 414, according to the above quote? Thanks,
Adrian
As you're in Canada, check your local London Drugs location. They usually carry type II cassettes and the one near me, stocks a shit load.
London drug location? What is that? Don't have one here.
CJ,
So I have a mint 414mkII on the way! Excited about it. That article that you posted is actually the one I quoted from, too. Maybe it just means that if you record in stereo, you can't monitor in mono? Don't know. But it is a good article for sure.
