What do you plan on doing with a reel-to-reel machine if you buy one?
Refurbished/Rebuilt Reel To Reel Tape Deck
After reading Ken Kessler's article in the December issue of HiFi News on; "Investigation - Keeping it reel", my interest in this music format has piqued. The reel to reel tape revival seems to be gathering momentum. My question is; who in the USA can supply a fully refurbished/rebuilt Revox B77 MK11, HS, 2T tape deck? Comments on other tape decks to consider would be much appreciated. Similarly, your thoughts on the SQ of this format compared to vinyl, CD and digital downloads.

I plan to buy/use pre-recorded tapes from The Tape Project ( https://tapeproject.com ), Opus 3 ( http://www.opus3records.com/am_list.html ) etc. |
" Copying from a LP, CD or download is a waste of time and money! Only original tapes are worth owning and playing!" Not true, I make mix tapes on my R2R that I use in my garage system. I can choose different cuts to make "theme" tapes or cuts from the same artist without recording the whole album or cd. I sell many different things on Craigslist and the Pioneer RT-707 is always getting positive comments from my CL visitors. Bottom line is, "it’s fun"! http://gallery.audioasylum.com/cgi/upload.mpl?u=28077&f=garagereel1.jpg&v=f&UserImages=28077&session=421945342&invite=&w=905&h=679 |
