In my first job at a HiFi store in 1973, the demo material was all recorded on a Pioneer RtR machine from a Dual 1229 with an Audio Technica AT15 (nude Shibata) using a Mac C28 preamp. Playback through MC2105 into our favorite speakers…ESS AMT-1 Towers. Carly Simon No Secrets, There Goes Rhymin’ Simon, Loggins and Messina Full Sail…early Telarc classical, and for the owner, some Frank Sinatra. All sounded really good to me. Store wired with 14 ga. Brown PVC zip cord. Noel Lee made the scene next year!
Good Reel-To Reel Blank RecordingTape
It’s been 40 years since I’ve bought blank reel-to-reel recording tape.
I’m reviving my reel-to-reel game...I’m going to make recording of all of my vinyl that didn’t get released on cd or any other digital format.
All of the tape manufacturers that were around in the 70’s are long gone. Who’s making good 10.5 inch recording tape today, and where can I get it?
