I had a Sony DTC75ES I bought in 1990. I found some of the DAT tapes I recorded had dropouts 5 years later. A few years ago, I offered the Sony deck to my brother who is in a jazz band. He wasn’t interested and my thinking of it being a dead format, brought the deck and tapes to a place that recycles audio equipment. I am still kicking myself in the ass for that dumb mistake.
Thoughts on DAT tape? Any users?
I know, I know!
Yet another old dead end format but hear me out...lol.
I still do a lot of home recording and now I am down to just my cassette decks having sold off all my r2r gear.
Looking at DAT tape it seems like it should make for high quality audio recordings but does it?
Equipment and media are not outrageous prices yet....
So any actual users or ex users rather than just internet cowboys care to comment?
Thank you and stay safe!
