Sony 3348 with remote... 3k$

I remember when I was a young man working as an assistant in a fancy Hollywood recording studio where they had 3 of these and the owners used to brag that they cost more then his house. I think he told me 220K each?

Glad I didn't buy one.

DASH digital: all the problems of analog and all the problems of digital, with the advantages of neither. Who'd have thought it wouldn't survive?

But they did have built in air conditioners. Could be nice on a hot day.

Fucking horrible units!!!

When I was in school in NYC, in the "Analog/Digital Systems" course, this puppy was brought up, and I remember a student raising his hand and simply asking "Why in the Hell would you do that?"

If only they had polled the youth.

that is an expensive ADAT! good thing there are tons of people to repair, maintain, and mod to current flavors of digital audio! 220k? fucking sheesh.
