Reel2Reel is a waste of time. I've used it since1964 and unless you are playing back $500 master copies it is a degrading format. You can make much better recordings cheaper with DSD now if that's your goal. I only use mine for playing 4 channel masters.
I could not live without 2 tape monitor channels and a dBx 400 switchbox.
