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.

I have a Technics RS1500 and love tape but it is more hands on than streaming or the 1000 albums on a hard drive. Question to all here is how many of you use an outboard preamp like Bottlehead and  others?
Is it really worth the cost and effort?
