In it’s day the Fostex D-25 was an insanely expensive recorder, like $20K. I picked mine up a few years ago for around $500, but like all old DAT recorders it had issues, but these things are totally worth fixing given the great build quality and sound quality.

The Fostex DV40 is a brilliant recorder with excellent sound quality and build quality. It is capable of recording to not only DVD-RAM discs, but it can playback other formats as well, ie, CDs, which sound superb on this machine. If for no other reason than to play back CDs, I would highly recommend getting one of these great machines.
