Open Reel Curious
I am relatively new to audiophile level listening, with a respectable SS system, streaming mainly, with some discs and vinyl in the mix as well. But I am intrigued with open reel. Yet I am also a bit intimidated. There is clearly a learning curve regarding equipment, calibration, tape types, etc, not to mention a pretty major expense.
It seems like there are only a very few places to listen and learn - Brooklyn, LA, Vancouver, BC…? Anyone know of places in Chicago or Detroit where one can go to hear high-end open reel demos and talk to knowledgeable people in person? Anyone have any advice, like “Run! Run far away!” lol.

Look at this discussion if you want answers to this question: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/the-dangerous-world-of-reel-to-reel-tape For me, R2R tapes can sound better than any other format, albeit at considerable cost. For example when I play the Lyn Stanley London With A Twist, Live At Bernies people always say, "wow, sounds like live music". |
