Presto k8 is THE beginner machine. You will learn almost every frustrating and inspiring thing about cutting with it. It took me five years on it to get perfect cuts and I'm still learning. As tempted as I am to have another one, this needs to go to a dead serious lathe troll beginner. Even the guy at aardvark mastering started on one. Alan Graves said he used his for, what, 20 years or something? They might look hokey, but they've got the beef. Highly recommended.

I can agree with gridlock on the k8.
This machine is a beast! You can cut loud recordings with the right eqing and setup.
I still use mine along with my 6n for cutting.

A really great machine with nice tube distortion if your into added a little grit to the mix.
