Well I used it too. I had a Crown BX-822. God, I wish
they still made affordable open reel tape.

Very few working pros shed many tears over the obsolescence of analog tape.
If you want a high quality product without a lot of dinking around, forget

I don't understand the problem. Quantegy 641 is still in production,
something like six bucks for a pancake, and will work fine on those old
Crown machines. It's low output stuff, but it still sounds pretty good.

Well, with a Tascam HD-P2, 10GB .85" Toshiba drives or solid state
memory cards that fit comfortably in your shirt pocket, seems a better
solution for Robert, altogether, is now available
