Worth keeping a B16 for that "tape"sound?

Frankly, I'd drop it and see if I couldn't pick up and eight track 1/2" with your dough from that and use it for drums.

Many descriptions come to mind when I think of all small format analog decks from companies such as Fostex, Tascam, etc.

"That Tape Sound"

isn't one of them...

Bunnerrab's signature is

as cheap converters are to digital, so too are these to analog

unload the B16 on some enthusiastic newbie & find youself a pro format ( 1" 8 track or 1/2" 4 track ) if you really want "That Tape Sound"

I think it's a good idea to have a tape deck around for color as well as special FX(varispeed, reverse, etc)

I'd get rid of the Fostex and try and get a very small 8trk
