DAT, pro cd recorder with 24/96 and reel to reel, in that order. I'd elect for the pro cd recorder, an Alesis specifically. Having owned a reel to reel years ago and loved it, the major drawback is finding what it is you want to listen to. Of course, in my own life I just get up and flip over the album. I've grown to love the simplicity of the routine.
RU recording LPs on Reel to Reel ?
or is this just O-U-T?
I'm appreciating analogue more than ever with my new setup and want to record some of these LPs but on to what? I'm interested to know what your thoughts are between reel to reel sound and the sound from a cdr, perhaps through a computer with a good capture card and an EQ program or whatever's best digitally.
Even if reel-to-reel comes closer to the analogue sound of an LP, is the benefit minor allowing ease-of-use to tip the scales towards digital? Right now the glamour factor is telling me to go out and get a tape deck and the fear factor is telling me to stick with what i know.
I was surprised that a search here didn't pull up some posts on this subject...which makes me think reel-reel is just out except for pro engineering.
(Really, it's just jumping up to turn over these LPs that's getting me a bit ...jumpy.)
