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?

The International Phonograph tapes sound fantastic and are 1:1 dubs (done with great care) of safety masters from music Jonathan recorded himself.

Typical audiophile (and nothing wrong with this). In love more with the toy than the music.

I am old enough to remember the r2r craze of the 70s...our neighbors worked for an FM station...so we had access to a vast array of tapes at cost prices...vintage sansui receiver, dual turntable, advent speakers, akai reel...my memories are not as fond as others...tape machines are notoriously finicky....with many moving parts...kind of like owning a vintage Jaguar...it was always in need of something...that being said...the fidelity wad very good...moved on to cassette tapes in the 80s...huge downgrade!

They are recorded very well and sound astonishing IMO.
