Reel to reel

I’m entertaining the idea of purchasing a reel to reel to record my albums on and also use to possibly soften the digital age a bit. Does anyone know where or if NEW blank tapes can be purchased? Are there any thoughts on a resurgence of R2R and if blank media will become more easily accessible?

Ralph, you keep self-advertising, and that's that. That piece of s... Technics with Grado is nothing really, DJ toy at best.

I think you missed Ralph's point entirely on the usage of the Technics.......

Yes- precisely the point. When mastering an LP you can't do it so that only the very best pickups will do the job. The groove you cut must be easily played on an average machine and the Technics is a pretty good 'average'.

Yes, I agree that the Technics 1200 is an average machine, competent but not extraordinary.  I liked it more than most machines from the 1970s and 1980s like Duals, Rotels, Miracords, BSRs, Garrards, etc.  It is a good test unit for universal use vinyl.
