Each tape machine I use has a slightly differnt sound, mostly its imperceptible but sometimes there is a noticable quality of hiss and jingle that varies with the machine, generally the better the mchine the less the hiss but there is a tonal quality that cheaper machnes can have that is quite nice, so I use all kinds of tape machine from high end nakamichi to cheap philips data recorders.

I like the old synths, each one to me is a kind of philosophical craft, an object that perfectly encapsulates the relationship between capability and 'cost' they were designed to be as useful as possible but at a certain price, so its interesting how their features and ideosynracies reflect this relationship. Modern do-it-all software emulations are great but they lack this historical attribute, i like these vintage mafchines for this reason and thus build up tracks around their limitations as well as their caperbilities.
