There is at least 28 people in the world who are lusting over a working Elcaset player. There is one currently at $360 and 28 bids. R2Rs are a little more common. Move over R2R, Elcaset is the coolest kid on the block now.
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.

uberwaltz, I have not forgotten DAT which was, at least for some time, a professional's choice. I had it on my mind when someone implied "tape is better because digital sucks". Not that I think that DAT is phenomenal, but it does exist, it is a tape, and it is digital. Still, my heart goes to DCC. It played regular cassettes, too. I wanted to like MiniDisc (another radio station workhorse), but it does make a case for "digital sucks" more often than not. This Elcaset is intriguing, though. |
OK, here’s on for the trolls. Who would prefer to listen to a Nak cassette deck, Elcaset, DAT or other medium instead of some of my distribution master tapes on a 15 IPS Studio R2R? https://i.vgy.me/FY946m.jpg https://i.vgy.me/hWJJn1.jpg |
