Aye, that's the key - "within your means". ADAT's biggest success was
in how many it provided with those means, period. (Arguably it also
provided the means for a much higher proliferation of crap as well, but
that's another matter).

The problem is that ADAT gave digital recording a bad name at the time.
For a while I was advertising saying that I did analogue recording, because
there was a huge backlash going on about the whole ADAT sound. The problem
is that I _also_ did digital recording with gear that sounded a lot better
than the ADAT, but a large number of folks didn't want to listen to it,
because they knew what digital sounded like because they'd heard the ADAT.
