Nothing like spending the cost of an entire season of concerts on one album, that you probably already have multiple copies of. Rich fool's hobby reel-to-reel is (says Yoda).
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.
