Ok, a really naive question. So, why would one want a reel to reel now? To record things and play back? Or is there big reels of music somewhere to be purchased. As I remember tape degrades after ten years or so.
Just interested.
What should I be looking for when buying my 1st Reel To Reel ?
Good day everyone, This forum has never failed me, so here I am again, I would like to know from experienced Reel to Reel enthusiasts, what a first time buyer should be looking for and any particular brand they have had success with,I have done a little research and know I should be looking for 71/2 -Ips-15-Ips, but the foggy area for me is this: I am mostly interested in playback, so do I need a 2 track, 4 track, etc,I don't want to spend for something I don't need, however unit quality and sound of course is most important criteria, any thoughts recommendations or comments are most welcome
Regards
