Pre-recorded Reel-to Reel tapes

About 30 years ago, I had a nice 4 channel Reel-to Reel tape machine. I think that was the best fidelity I've ever heard. I have researched a little, but haven't found many pre-recorded tapes available. I guess it's almost like searching for 78 records. I'm loving my vinyl, but wish I could find a place that offered many titles of tapes. Is there such a place?

I have heard great things about this company, http://www.tapeproject.com, never actually tried them myself.

Forgot to mention, I had a perfect condition high speed two track Revox B77
Mk11; sold it two years ago on AudiogoN. Big mistake, wish I had kept it and
tried one of the TapeProject tapes on it.

I have 20 or so......the sound quality sucks....iTunes would sound better...

However, there is something special to watching an old reel to reel working.

Paul,

If the sound quality is so bad, why buy 20 of these very expensive tapes?
