Reel 2 Reel

I have two sony's, one the TC-580 is used all the time with pre-recorded tapes. It has an autoreverse that automatically senses the end of one side and does the reverse. Many of the r2r tiles I have, I also have the vinyl and cd versions. R2R, does sound best. I also have some dolby b tapes and its processor, sounds even better. For classical stuff, the Barclay and Croker tapes will best vinyl, especially the Vanguard tapes.

not to brag (i don't even have two of them hooked up to anything) but i have FIVE, including a teac A-6100 two-track master recorder, a teac x-2000R, a teac x-2000M, a tascam br-20, and an otari MX-55N.
almost bought a nagra-D-II on e-bay but chickened out as i do not have enough knowledge to use a 4-track machine that can be interfaced with a win-tel computer. true-24 bit resolution and tons of knobs and switches, 4 VU meters, a rotating digital head- nowadays nagra uses a hard-drive instead of tape, but that's not as much fun to look at...

I have two in my system a Revox A77 half track head,and a Revox B77 quarter track head.To me pre-recorded reels are the only thing that sound better than LPs.The channel seperation is incredible on Electric Ladyland.

I used to own Teac,and Tandberg decks.Really enjoyed them.Lately I was exposed to rebuilt Stelavox open reel machines,rebuilt by Charles King.I was amazed as to how fabulous they sounded.Truly sota!!

A tube 1/4 track Tanberg 64x, viewable on my System, a 4 track Teac 40-4 and a 1/2 track Teac 32-2B.
