Reel to reel

In regard to HI-Rez files, they're as good as the upper end of the cartridge, tonearm, TT thing; so therefore, if you do not have an "upper echelon" analog rig, the Hi-Rez will be better.

This 15 IPS thing has become addictive, I just might go completely 15 IPS; "Mo money, mo money,  always mo money"

Thanks Benjie.

I see it at $35.

Sworn by it for my stylus, not sure why I never even thought about it for tape!

LAST is easily bought directly from thelastfactory.com or from needledoctor.com and some others too, I think, like elusivedisc.com and musicdirect.com. I usually buy directly from Walter - he makes more money this way, price is always the same everywhere.

After this thread just go read about guys comparing $10k cartridges and saying that they all sound quite different. Of course, they all sound different, it is different colorations. None of those cartridges sound right, that should be the point. The same with tables and arms.
But if they start thinking like that their enthusiasm will go down big time along with inflated egos.

Cartridges that sound different does not mean wrong.  There are bigger differences in high end speakers $100,000+.  Solid state versus Tube, my Tandberg versus my Technics RR, an Ampex 300 versus a Revox or Teac RR.  They all sound significantly different.  I favored the Tandberg RR and cassette decks because of their full, warm sound and excellent S/N without Dolby.  However, I also want reliability so I'm using a Technics RR now and a Nakamichi 7 cassette deck.  
My enthusiasm hasn't shrunk and I'm not known for having a big ego, rather a suppressed ego.  Maybe your're the one with a big ego, RR over everything else.
