Is there an 'Audiophile' Reel-to-Reel Machine for Under $1,000?

I inherited my dad's home made reel-to-reel tapes and would like to start trying one or two or so of today's 'audiophile' tapes or 'high end' tapes at home.

I currently listen to records - mainly UK and USA classic rock, pop, reggae, electronica, folk and movie and TV sound tracks. 

Is there an obvious 'audiophile' reel-to-reel machine(s) to consider for under $1,000?   Thank you in advance for your thoughts!

If your really want to spend $1000 on a R2R then that's what you should do to listen to your dad's tapes. I say great idea, worth a grand to me.

It is a completely different game if you're looking for a "satisfactory hi-end" machine.

Just the fact that you posted looking for a $1k machine...you answered your own question.

Many good advisory posts above if you decide to proceed.
