Not to be cynical, but 24 track recorders had some sound quality limitations. 16 tracks was more reasonable.
Although, several decades ago, John Stephens once took me to a studio where they had one of his 40 track (yes, forty!) closed-loop recorders. I want to say it was The Producer's Workshop, but I don't remember for sure. In any case, I was duly impressed, even with the tiny track width.
But, in my opinion, the creme-de-la-creme was/is a 4 track Studer using 1-inch tape, with custom electronics by John Curl. THAT is the tits.
I've always lusted over the absolutely excellent engineering of the A80 series transport and control. And, their FF and rewind speed was scary fast.
