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

Bummer, I'm considering a Pioneer RT 707 for my system. Really just for looks, I mean you can't beat the look? Gorgeous. Stunning, bla, bla, bla... But do I really want to spend $500 - $100 for something to 'pretty up' my rack?

uberwaltz,

"Now excuse me while I go read up on Elcaset some more ....."

So you are the one slowing that Elcaset website I am reading.

Now, sleepwalker65 gave me another homework with that TEAC open cassette. I did not forget about it. I never knew about it.

After all of this, 8-track seems like a mundane mainstream these days. Not to mention R2R. It is like a fledgling teenager.

"Next they will implant a device in your head and you will think of a song and it will play for you"

Not so long ago, I told it to another person and he said "Well, they already have that. It is called...drugs."

"...do I really want to spend $500 - $100 for something to 'pretty up' my rack?"

Yes, you do.

Just think how you could fill an additional rack up.

Sony Elcaset.
Sony DAT machine.
Sony Minidisc.
Teac open cassette.
Pioneer 8 track.

The mind boggles at the living museum of obsolete technology/media you could create.

Yes that lot makes regular cassette and r2r seem almost mundane in comparison.
