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.

So what can we listen to on R2R?

Right now Quicksilver Messenger Service at 7.5ips. Genuine pre recorded media.

Very " analog" , absolutely no mistaking this for any digital source at all
It time to put on the white album and listen to my favorite band 
and enjoy this evening 
I have a Technics RS1500 and love tape but it is more hands on than streaming or the 1000 albums on a hard drive. Question to all here is how many of you use an outboard preamp like Bottlehead and  others?
Is it really worth the cost and effort? 
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.
