I used mine for 3 years with 456 tape. Used to cart it around in the trunk of my car and record bands in their rehearsal spaces. Never had any issues.

It is a real kicka$$ little machine. You'll get some great recordings out of it. As the above poster said, I wouldn't try to calibrate it unless you notice some real funky sounds. I never did on mine. You have to take the whole machine apart to do any type of alignment. Just get some tape and hit record. Believe it or not, the EQs aren't half bad for what kind of gear it is.
