I buy all my r2r tapes of eBay, stick to 7.5ips tapes nowadays.
Just do not get suckered into spending too much as you so easily can.
$100 plus is easy with some real popular titles like Led Zep or Floyd or the Beatles.
I now prefer to buy blank media and make my own 7.5ips recordings from Qobuz or my vinyl rig.
Amazing how much different it sounds from the source on r2r playback.
And what a difference when I stumped up the cash to buy a fully serviced and recapped machine!
Plenty of good blank media for sale on eBay at fair prices if you shop around!
Enjoy and welcome to the r2r world!
