    Will Analog Multitracks ever be made again?

    LOL! 1-i feel no 'social pressure' to do anything. 2-i don't play those sticky shed tapes very often, maybe once or twice a year. so it's not a problem. if i had to do it every day then it would be a problem.

    Will Analog Multitracks ever be made again?

    yep. thoroughly clean the heads and guides with isopropyl alcohol on q-tips. and keep them spotless. usually helps. with older tapes, it needs to be done very frequently. i clean after every tape play/pass. sometimes even in the middle of a tape play/pass, even more than once.

    Who's cheap gear do you trust the most?

    i had very good luck with a couple of peavey mixers, power amps, and pa spkrs back in the late '70s to late '80s. none of them ever failed. oh. except for a tweeter in one of the spkrs after about 10 yrs of hard use.
