Had the hardest time getting rid of them. No one would take them. Was tempted to just dump the tubes and keep...

interested in what you come up with.
Any chance you could include all the korg dsd units, including the older portables?

Also, whatever happened to the korg dsd daw?

Hey Shed,
I noticed you started another 388 thread

New ATR 1 mil tape-interested?

ATR is considering making a hi fi 1 mil tape if enough people are interested.
Tascam 388 users, perhaps?

maybe put 1 mil in the subject line.
i've been conversing with Mark Spitz.
