    Tascam Model 3 dimensions?

    Just a quick question, anyone out there with a Model 3 can do a quick measure up and let me know approximate depth/width/height? Checking user manual doesn't seem to state it anywhere.

    Tascam MSR16 calibrated for SM900/499 tape

    I've just got my hands on a Tascam MSR16 dbx model and I know that most people (including Tascam) recommend 456/SM911 tape for this machine. However, this is my first 1/2" machine and the only 1/2" tapes I have are about half a dozen Ampex 499 and RMGI SM900 tapes. Wondering if the MSR16 will...

    Funny how just the sight of something can bring back a flood

    Revox G36 vs Tascam 32

    I've owned a Tascam 32 for a few years now and I've used it to master all my analog recordings. I've got a friend selling a Revox G36 that I know has been well looked after and serviced. Now the Revox will definitely have better electronics than the Tascam (which are quite mediocre) but I'd...

    Famous albums on Tascam reels?

    Animal Collective's Sung Tongs (2004) was recorded on a Tascam 48. And I think Arcade Fire's Funeral (2005) was recorded on a Tascam 38... definitely a 1/2" 8 track though. Great sound none the less.

Now am I mistaken or are these very hard to come by? The store where I usually get my tapes from here in Melbourne does...
