I have always loved the R2R sound. What about HIFI VCR? Long ago I watched the movie, Eddie and the Cruisers 2 and just loved the soundtrack. I bought the CD and it didn't sound nearly as good as the Super HIFI VCR tape. I was astounded. I asked about it at my upscale Hifi store and was told that due to size of tape that the VCR recordings equaled or were better than the best R2R's and were then being used to record in studios. Thoughts?
Is There Any Reason To Buy A Reel-To-Reel Machine Nowadays??
I bought my first reel-to-reel machine in 1977 as a convenience in order to record and play back multiple albums in high fidelity.without having to fool around with my manual turntable. I was surprised to find out that I preferred the sound of the reel to the turntable. Along came cd and I could play both sides of an album with the fuss of having to flip it over every 15 minutes. Now with high a high quality DAC and a computer, you can have uninterrupted high fidelity music for days on end.
No one is making new recordings on reel-to-reel. The cost of blank tape is exorbitant. The cost of a good open-reel deck is stratospheric. So pretty much you're left with recording an LP or a cd to your reel for playback.....what's that??
Please chime in for reasons to buy an open-reel deck today.
