Reel to Reel


This may sound like a dumb question, but what the heck !!!
I have always wanted a R to R, just to play around with.

But I have to ask, what do you guys do with your machines ? What do you play or tape ?

Recently, I was told locally where a lot of refurb R to R are sold, that a lot of people record CD to them ?

Just curious ?

You might want to look into replacing the stock 6DJ8 and EF86s in the Repro. The best I've found are the Tele EF806S and Tele E88CC. They'll give you a cleaner, more transparent sound with more sense of space and attack and a bit better bass. If you want a little warmer, not quite as extended, but with a little more mids, you might want to try an Amperex E188CC/7308 and Mullard 10M ECC88. There are a few other tube combos but despite having the tubes around, haven't tried them yet.
