I think you should stick with open reel because I don't think you'll find a digital recorder that monitors the recorded media in real time as it's being recorded. The best you'll get is monitoring of the digital conversion in real time as it's being stored in memory. You'll have to replay the recording to know for certain whether what's in memory is what you expect to be in memory. However, you already own open reel tape recorders so you're in good shape. Of course, the cost of open reel media is probably ten thousand times more than the cost of digital media. Oh, well. Such is life!

Since tape sounds only five thousand times better than digital, I've clearly been wasting my money. Such is life.
Actually, tape doesn't sound any better than digital. You can prove this to yourself by using your TASCAM DA-3000 to make a 5.6-MHz DSD recording of one of your tapes. You'll find the DSD recording sounds identical to your tape. It only costs a lot less.It costs less for a DSD recorder than an open reel tape recorder and it costs a lot less for the storage media. However, DSD sounds just as good as tape if not better!
It's much easier to make digital recordings, too. No need to monitor the recording because it comes out perfect every time and no more cleaning tape heads!
Such is life!
