R2R tapes I've seen advertised on audiophile web sites are priced far beyond my budget. Aside from that, I wish I hadn't abandoned the format. There was always something seductive about watching those reels spin...
Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people.
The format is dying and too expensive to repair properly. Heads wear out so easy and many out there are all worn.
High quality technicians are either retired or long gone. Its such an inconvenient format that can be equalled by nakamichi easily in tape decks.
Retire it please put them in museums.

"...most digital recording is total garbage as anyone who has an ear or is a real musician will tell you."I may know fake musicians, but they actually cannot care less for digital vs. analog. They lean towards digital for convenience, in fact. A few above posts seem to equal tape with analog which is not always exactly the case. |

"Can you say (or spell) STELLAVOX? STUDER?What is going on here? Stellavox has no reel-to-reel products (http://www.stellavox.com/products.html) Studer seems to be the same (https://www.studer.ch/en-US/product_families) If that is anything to go by, R2R has deceased. |
