Age of masters

@mijostyn 
There were hundreds of thousands of tapes across the world, most of which ended up in a skip back in the late 80s/early 90s, as record companies moved to CD. There are a number of places in Europe and the USA, where people saved these from the rubbish tip. If you search hard enough, you can find reliable sources of tapes. There are also a few collectors, who share tapes.

One such collector was HW of VPI who used such tapes to guide his TT production.  His stated goal was to make his TTs sound like these tapes.

Anyone used pro SVHS VCR and SVHS tapes for audio only recordings, anyway ?
chakster, did you get a cassette deck ?

Not yet, but a bunch of NOS cassettes already purchased.

I think the JVC stereo VCR is what you need @inna 

Yeah, either pro JVC or Panasonic. I know, some people do it.
