Silly you. I’ll grant you it’s probably the not the best format for a modern audiophile. It is however a very useful tool in the recording studio. It’s far too fussy for someone who just wants to throw on a CD and sit back. I play 99% vinyl - easy- that R2R is fussy.For the most part you’ll have to make your own recordings from a good source. Ugh! The recorded tapes that are available are either outrageously expensive, have a poor selection of titles or are antiques. That’s why only professionals use R2R anymore, for the most part. Here’s how I use mine:
Synthesizer >Studio mixer >digital recording program> Digital mixer > R2R > CDR/mp3 > sound cloud.
Look for my first ever release “new day May” by Bentunderground on sound cloud now. It’s a thunderstorm. It sounds like crap on the phone. The R2R was critical in the recordings process as it enhances the soundstage and equalization for recording.
Please read and understand more before making blanket (trolling?) statements like you made. There are many advocates of reel to reel on Audiogon - do a little research!
