Well...the M-5000 is one of Tascam " more" expensive built consoles when it was new. I think it was around $45.000.00 to $60.000.00..! I've seen a couple of used ones listed for around $9.000.00 to $10.000.00..In Tascam's original release info on the M-2600's consoles says " the M-2600 shares some of the same circuitry as the M-5000, power supply mic amps, eq., etc! ( take this with a "big" grain of salt..

). I have the M-2600 mkII and it's sounds ok considering what it cost when new. I'm sure ( if you like the analog feel of consoles, the M-5000 wil be fine for you. The mic pres should be decent, the ones on the M-2600 are ( not the greatest, but decent)..!..
