I want to buy a 4-track, and would like to find a place with quite a few options.

Ced you can definitely find one at Nagwon (near Insadong - walk down the street and it's off to a side street near a Coffee Bean). Nagwon is the big music gear building that has a hundred shops in it.

But if you have Korean friends, use mnshome.co.kr - you can get used stuff on there on the cheapo. I just rocked some powered Event monitors.

For the most options you need to go to Hakwon as described above.

Thanks very much guys. I'll be busy on Sunday then.

My hagwon have drums and a piano. Awesome. Some funky 4-track beats soon to emerge from the depths of Anyang.

What subway stop is it? I can't find an "Insadong", or "Hakwon".

Anguk station on the orange #3 line is yr best bet - one of the exits is labeled "Insadong" and comes out in front of a police station. Go around the corner and you'll see a "quaint" street full of Korean knicknacks & stuff (and Crown Bakery). You can easily ask someone "Nagwon Odee-ayo?" or just walk down the street looking down each real street to the left until you see a Coffee Bean. When you find the Coffee Bean, past it is a big building with stairs going up, go up to the second floor and start looking for a 4 track. They can definitely be found, but it may take some searching. I'm pretty sure you can just start asking people for one, dudes there speak music-gear-English very well.

i actually find it easier when i get off at the jogno-3-ga stop on line 3,
get out at exit #3,
then walk straight ahead until you find an odd looking building that overpasses a street. you'll know what i mean when you see it.
the second floor is where you'll find the bargains, but in terms of 4 tracks you might getter a wider selection upstairs on the third floor where there is a large shop on home recording, studio gear etc.

be sure to haggle but not too much.

goodluck!
