| I always had good luck with their (Tascam) Portastudios back in the day, but the digital stuff has been somewhat less reliable. DA78HR's had some problems, so I traded for an MX2424. That was a good machine, but it took them forever to come up with the editing software, so I got rid of it.
My first DV-RA1000 had a bad switch, the power button! The second one works fine. It's a little slow to work with, and I've had a few failed discs. But as long as I'm patient waiting for the DVD drive to access, get ready to record, enter USB mode, etc.... it's usually not a problem.
It does sound pretty good. |
