It's Too Funky in Here!!!
Okay, here's one for you vintage-Fostex gurus.
I can see minor differences between the FD-8 and DMT-8VL, such as one has LCD and one has LED meters, respectively. Also, the DMT-8VL apparently has an ADAT interface, standard, and the FD-8 doesn't.
They both have relatively the same mixer, same edit functions, same record resolution, E-IDE internal and SCSI external drive capabilities, and both record analog only 2-simultaneously.
What's the huge difference between the FD-8 and DMT-8VL, and why would I buy one over the other. The DMT-8VL is obviously newer, but what's the biggest difference or selling point between the two units?
