It says that PROFESSIONAL analog equipment can sound very good.

well that's exactly WTF the OP is about, the TASCAM equipment listed
was made during the 1980's, it has 25hz- 20 khz rez. And that's what
I'm looking into getting, running at 3.75 IPS. This is studio quality
gear- you obviously don't know WTF you're talking about here.

On the contrary. 25Hz-20kHz -- at what level? 0VU? In a pig's eye, unless
you're taking +/- 10dB as your standard. Whereas professional equipment,
like a properly-adjusted reel-to-reel 1/4" half-track machine running at
15ips, will be flat +/-3dB out to at least 25kHz at 0VU.

The thing is, you're comparing digital to consumer crap analog, and still
come up preferring the analog. Okay, no accounting for tastes. But sometime,
if you want to hear what analog can be like, get together with somebody who
has an ATR100, or an AG-440, and listen hard.

Peace,
