actually my damn fostex e-16 doesn't have any hiss. what a piece of crap.
I'm telling you, man, high quality tape hiss ain't cheap.
But, I hear you, man, ... that's a shame that your machine does not do

. Well, you can still find a good use for it. May I suggest: get couple of grindeing stones. Mount rough on the left reel table, fine - on the right. Hit REW - rough sharpening, hit F FWD - fine polishing. Makes a great tool
also, since this "topic" stinkins like another analog vs. digital blah blah, then somebody tell me, what can MDM or DAW be used for when it goes out of
fashion, well, you can take cooling fan out (if you lucky and it's in there

) and use it for comforting your hamster during hot summer days.
I've got couple of MDMs in my rack, btw...both with FAN in there! No hamster thou...
