I have owned teacs, pioneers, akai, revox and heard others to
If you like your teac, you will love Revox or Akai, they both sound MUCH better than any teac that I have heard, Teac well built though but the others sound way better.
Help Picking a Reel to Reel Deck
Hi All (first insider post),
I purchased an excellent TEAC 2300s last December and had it professionally checked and calibrated here in LA....I was hoping that tape would not live up to the hype, but it did. So now that I am totally addicted, I want to upgrade and I need your help to help me find the right deck.
Here is the short list of requirements:
1) Reliability and serviceability
2) 3 3/4 and 7 1/2 ips play speeds
3) Auto-reverse
4) Two outputs
5) A dedicated straight tape head output for a preamp.
6) Is kind and gentle on tapes
7) Has playback bias and/or EQ controls
8) Costs about $1,000
I have a feeling it’s a lot to ask for, but I’m asking anyways.
Thanks much!
