Tangents aren't bad - not great either. $400 for one is pretty steep, unless it's the big studio model. The small 8 and 12 ch models are worth about $100. Still worth a look though.
Other cheap small desks worth mentioning:
Heathkit TM-1626 (6 input stereo out from 1974 - looks like a 1/8 scale bigger console).
Lamb Laboratories 4x2 with built-in limiter.
Seck 6 channel 2 buss
Studiomaster 8 into 4

tangent
i had a tangent 12ax something or other. looked AMAZING, sounded like doo. noisy, thin sounding, unexciting (to me at least).
i enjoyed a little studiomaster gold 8x2 for a long time. something about the sound of the pres made me happy, fairly focused with a little hair, and decent eq as well. nice compliment to the sytek, my only other pres at the time.

The one thing that's cool about the Tangents, aside from their 70's hip look, is the fact that each channel is modular, so you can pull 'em out one by one and tweak away, should you be the electronicly inclined type... Don't know enough about board electronics to know if you can improve it's sound enough to make it worth it, but it sure seems like it'd be fun to feck around with...

Hmm, so you're the one who outbid me... bastard !
I have four of these pres in my rack as well.

On the first page of this thread, Creature.of.Habit mentioned the old Yamaha RM804. I?ve got one of those, which I loved in the 80?s, but haven?t used since. At the time, I wasn?t very gear-savvy and didn?t have much sense of what the rap on those mixers might have been, good or bad. I?d be curious if anyone who knows that beast has any opinions about it. (I mean, one can infer a certain amount from its having RCA I/O?s, etc.)
Relatedly, what can I do with it these days? I?ve got more and better preamps, enough that I can?t foresee ever needing those as ?extras? (I?d sooner rent something better). By my recollection, it?s not like those pres were crazy-distinctive anyway.
But I?m thinking there must be some creative use for it. Like using its faders together with a cheap 8-track deck as ?the poor man?s Mellotron? (an idea written up in TapeOp a few years back). But I don?t have a spare deck. Any other uses, wacky or otherwise?
I listed it on CL once or twice for peanuts, but it may as well have been invisible there.
