Brother are you barking up the wrong tree. I owned a Revox A77 for a decade and it deconstructed itself. Tandbergs are even worse. The better Japanese units are much more reliable. BUT, an analog recording of any source is always a downgrade and prerecorded tapes are crazy expensive and finding them with music you like is difficult. It would only be a museum piece and that is not what this is about, for me at least. If you want to record music it is far better to do it digitally with a computer and hard drive or a dedicated digital recorder.
Killer vintage 70's, 80's reel to reel to add to my setup.
Hey everyone. Looking to add a Killer vintage R2R from the 70’s, 80’s to my current analogue setup that includes the Luxman PD444 and Victor TT-101 tables. I like the looks of the 70’s, 80’s but want to hear what you suggest. I’ll tell you right now, I know nothing about R2R and look forward to everyone bringing me up to speed with the basics and deck suggestions. Budget is around $4500. Thanks! Brent
