adats great
Magnum, I think adats are the best buy for the money.You can buy new LX 20's from Sam Ash for $999.00. Older blackface units for $500.00 WITH RATHER LOW HOURS. Remember the important thing is you front end,Mics, micpreamps,compressors. That is where I would put my money. I've heard a lot of crappy recordings done with top notch equipment but by people without any feel.Ithink adats can get as good a sound as anything out there for the price. And there are so many out there, parts, service people are many and simple to find, and cheap. adat tapes,$13.00 each for good ones. Good move to me. Jim
