Hi Folks,
Ok, I came across this deal to buy a Tascam DA-40 that only has 66hrs on it for $150!!! Its complete with manual, box & remote in flawless (looks almost unused) condition!! My question is I already have a Sony PCM-R300 in also very good condition with about 300hrs on it. I paid $250 from Dwonk for it and consider it to have been a good deal. Never had one issue with the R300 - love it!
Should I not even think about it and just JUMP on the DA-40?? Seems like a REALLY good deal. What does everyone think? Is this a better deck than the R300? Its (DA-40) retail price is upwards towards $1000. Any known issues? It has alll pro and SPDIF I/O's as well as balanced and unbalanced analog I/O's.
What do I do?? Fork out the $150 and keep the R300 as a back up? Every once in a while I come across these sweet deals & I debate back and forth till I loose out on the deal. This time I think I should jump on it..it looks like a nice deck in flawless condition!
Thanks my fellow tapers!
Peace,
LoS
if you're going to be listening to dats for another few years or so it might be worth it
one of my da20mkII's went down last week but I bought a backup just in case
