Was a great R2R. No, it won't sound as good as lps strictly from the stand point you'll be using 2nd generation material. It will be pretty good though. Probably not as much bass, slightly lacking in depth and spatiality. If your recording on to it live, different matter. Very little sounds as good as 15ips recorded live and recorded properly.
