No. And most likely anything you would find used and in need of repair would be a 4-track machine, whereas the new "audiophile" tapes are almost exclusively 2-track. If you want a cheap machine, are you really willing to spend $400 on up PER ALBUM for the "audiophile" pre-recorded tapes?
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!
