A 10 inch reel holds more tape than a 7.5 inch reel, therefore longer playing time and more music per reel (playing time will vary depending on the recording speed that you use). I'm a fan of reel to reel and have two Revox A 77's, but personally, with all I've seen in the last few years, a digital music server (or even a laptop with files recorded as WAV or Apple lossless) is probably what I would reccomend now.
Reel to Reel for play back
I am sure if I search the threads I may find the answer but would prefer fresh info.
If I wanted to get into Reel to Reel for play back only can I get a unit for under $1000.00? And if so what make should I be looking for.
Also what is this 7.5 or 10" reels ? I thought Reel to Reel players would play all sizes?
FYI: I am 85 percent vinyl, 10 percent digital and 5 percent undecided.
Any and all input would be appreciated.
If I can do for less then a 1000.00 all the better, if it takes more $$$ so be it. Gives me something to consider.
