Has anyone seen any reviews on this thing?

[Irie Penguin]

This month's TapeOp. And they like it. (Its Rupert, after all!)

I will check it out...thanks for the tip!

does anyone else find it ironic that it costs around $1600 to emulate tape?

Does anyone find it ironic that Neve calls it "True Tape Emulation"?

...badly...

I heard it at Wagener's on a few sources.  It didn't impress me much, but I have no business reviewing high end gear on this site.

Have you ever played with a pair?

I've been up on some salines.

They hadn't been taken care of very well... they were kinda stiff.

to his defense, he markets it as "True Tape" Emulation, like it's a tape emulator with the branding of "true tape" on it, not as one phrase.

[danickstr]

1600 hundred bucks would be cheap compared to the cost of installing a studer and maintaining it, although in this case of course before the pundits run to correct me, there could only be 2 channels down at a time.  9600 (6 boxes) would be req'd to do a decent drum kit, but still could be worth it if it does its job.

[scottoliphant]

$10,000 for 12 channels of tape emulation! there's your studer? or at least an ampex 1600 and a decent console?

That syntax does make a big difference!

There was a review in TapeOp saying that only the 15 ips mode was really practical and that the 7 ips mode on anything other than minute drive really sounded over done. Thats just what i read from the review though, never have seen or heard one myself.
