| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. @sleepwalker65i love the Beatles!!! That’s why I bought a reel to reel player!!!...on rap, try the Ghost Dog soundtrack and Oddisee. Oddisee needs a good system! | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. I recommend The Ghost Dog soundtrack, and Public Enemy’s Fear of a Black Planet as good starting points.Maybe De La Souls Six Feat High and Rising. A contemporary Hiphop/Rap artist I think will be a good test for all your systems is anything by Od... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. @vinny55 Like with all things, I try to keep to a lower budget. I have a TEAC 2300s. It’s seems like a solid player. I had it setup and calibrated by a pro here in the Greater Los Angeles area. It handles 7 inch stereo 4-track reels at 3 3/4 and 7... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. @chakster Some of the best tapes come from the 1950s and 60s. Classical, Jazz, Motown, R&B, Big Band, Vocal, there is so much selection available... The cherry on top is all the Pop and Rock from the late 60s and the 1970s!Plus a well cared f... | |
| Hardware/Software To Manage Multi-format, File-Based Audio Playback I think Jriver make the most sense. Not too expensive and seems to offer a lot of options. | |
| Hardware/Software To Manage Multi-format, File-Based Audio Playback I was hoping one of the software options can recognize and mitigate pre-emphasis and ringing in older CD’s and will also allow for custom EQ’s, loudness matching, etc... | |
| Hardware/Software To Manage Multi-format, File-Based Audio Playback These are all great suggestions! Thank you all. I have an Mac mini from around 2006 that I’d like to use to run whichever software I go with.I am curious, of the software you have suggested, which has the most tools for editing and enhancing files... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. I have been using reel to reel since this last december and have only managed to destroy one $8 tape (which I cannot find a duplicate of...ugh). But other than that i prefer it to handling vinyl. Everything seems to affect vinyl playback--everythi... | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? wturkey,i hear ya! if you've got a bit of the OCD's it can be quite crippling. ...this is why i do not care for vinyl so much. everything is so fragile and every touch and scrape or bump of needle or record could spell disaster. so far i have des... | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? I think if you want to make this a better place you have to think about it and check oneself as often as possible. The littlest things make the biggest difference (just like setting up a solid audio system). I am not cocky, but I do think I am doi... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. I’ve ‘had tears’ twice now with reel to reel. One a recording of Nina Simone, the other an Ink Spots recording—a group and recording I had never heard before. Simply amazing! | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. @uberwaltzSome 3 3/4 will surprise you! I think I said it before, Jethro Tulls Aqualung on 3 3/4 tape is the best way to appreciate that album. | |

| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? Glad you found it Glupson. Thanks for looking! You never saw Avatar? I'd give it a watch on a lazy Sunday for sure. How to Train Your Dragon 3 is also a very aesthetic experience in a darkened room--great lighting and excellent image fidelity. So... | |
