The great sound, resolution AND reliability of analog but with the power of digital, all in a package which was designed for the user. What a concept! No crashes, no freezes, no tape wear and painless to use so you can concentrate on making music." Kimura is specially satisfied with iZ Technology (makes Radar 24) support: "I will tell you that iZ Technology has toll free, free, unlimited Tech. Support and has the best support I have ever received from any company in any industry - another reason I'm sold on Radar 24. I have yet to be put on hold or wait more than seconds for answers to my questions. That's the kind of customer service I can rely on," says Kimura.
