It's built like a tank and has the headroom you need for live recording. I would suggest the BX-2 instead of the BX-1 simply because it has Dolby C, which gives higher S/N and headroom than Dolby B. In fact, an external dbx NR unit might be a good idea if you are recording some really dynamic stuff. In general, Sony decks (and others) never have the raw performance, quality construction, consistency and stability that the lowest priced Nak decks have, offering instead a bunch of useless bells and whistles. the wandering squash, -- Shaun Simpkins uucp: {ucbvax,decvax,chico,pur-ee,cbosg,ihnss}!teklabs!tekcad!vice!shauns CSnet: shauns@tek ARPAnet:shauns.tek@rand-relay
