Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people.


The format is dying and too expensive to repair properly. Heads wear out so easy and many out there are all worn.
High quality technicians are either retired or long gone. Its such an inconvenient format that can be equalled by nakamichi easily in tape decks.
Retire it please put them in museums.

I remember when everyone said record albums were obsolete. Same time when CDs were going to replace them. The only format I would say is dead is 8-track. My player ate all my tapes...eventually.

I am first in line for the caning though.....

Got an old 8 track so I am not worthy!

@2pysop.
Have you checked eBay of late for 8 track tapes and machines for sale. I guess someone forgot to tell them it was dead ....lol

I used to listen to 8 tracks on a Wollensak tape made in U.S.A. tape deck through Stax electrostatic headphones. Was that wrong?
