I'd beware any 7" prerecorded RTR that's on the open market these days. Most of it will be from the 60s-70s, and if it has not been stored under optimal conditions, most will suffer at least some degree of tape delimitation and physical tape distortion. (Note that I had several hundred reels of tape which I eventually trashed due to storage in a California basement; not a great idea!)
Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound?
Wondering why more people aren't into reel to reel if they're looking for the ultimate analog experience? I know title selection is limited and tapes are really expensive, but there are more good tapes available now than ever before.
People refer to a recording as having "master tape quality", well you can actually hear that master tape sound through your own system and the point of entry to reel to reel is so much more affordable than getting into vinyl. Thoughts?
