it is a tank, been using sony dgp tapes, 90m also, just sent it off for its 500hours cleaning, and it came back with a clean bill of health, if you buy one used, be careful that it's in good shape.

Thoughts...works great.  Really no negatives about it except that the a/d could be a little better.

Great little deck. Small, easy to power, with durcell ultra's I have gotten 4 hours of recording out of 4 aa's. It's a real work horse if taken care of. Been using mine since 99, yet to have a problem. I use a da-p1 mostly now, but the d8 comes in real handy when I need a smaller deck or need to worry about power at a long fest.
