Reel to reel
BTW Jacintha at 15 ips is good, almost as good as 45 rpm.....but for less money because a well tuned B77 Mk3 ihalf track is a formidable beast BTW if hitting your own tape, buy the calibration tape and learn how to adjust your machine...and she will drift..... have fun enjoy the music....or the gain.... or the music |
don't forget, 30ips half inch was the original standard on Ampex machines back in the early 1950s, 15 and 7.5 came later. And yes, 30 ips is very nice. I have a few masters of 1/2 inch at 30 ips, and they do sound wonderful...The big drawback is 10.5 inch reels are not large enough to record more than a few tracks. Its about the same as running 7 inch reels at 15 ips. The tape goes quickly. You really need 14 inch reels, which will hold 5000 feet of tape...or twice what a 10.5 reel holds. Only a few decks out there can handle 14 inch reels though. and with 30 at 1/2 inch you also pick up quite a few db of signal to noise improvement. |
