| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. As a small interesting piece, a person who signed off (who signed the arrival of it to the record company and was eventually a responsible "editor") on one of the topoxforddoc’s reels of tape has a story to tell..."Despot attended recording sessio... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. cleeds,I agree with, pretty much, everything you say. However, my points were aiming at the fact argued along this thread that R2R is thriving and not dying. Even the Italian poster’s informative description of revamped machines shows the opposite... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. cleeds,I agree, but do notice that tapes were not backed up to another tape but to entirely different (even allegedly inferior) format. That is saying something.Maybe 10 years ago, a few more or less, I asked a person at the radio station to copy ... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. That Analogplanet surely looks like the place to send your R2R to. Those guys seem to be serious. Impressive, at least to an amateur. | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Welcome Roberto, welcome Torino,This is to be able to "read" the numerous tapes still present in their archives, digitize them in order to have a security back up.They waited until 2019?The reel recorder is not "dead" or even in agony.Nothing wron... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. topoxforddoc,What are those links actually about?Descriptions of what is on the tape?How did you actually get them? For example, even in 1998, you could not go to the store and buy that Jesus and Mary Chain reel of tape. Was someone cleaning the c... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. uberwaltz,I have not forgotten DAT which was, at least for some time, a professional's choice. I had it on my mind when someone implied "tape is better because digital sucks". Not that I think that DAT is phenomenal, but it does exist, it is a tap... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. There is at least 28 people in the world who are lusting over a working Elcaset player. There is one currently at $360 and 28 bids. R2Rs are a little more common. Move over R2R, Elcaset is the coolest kid on the block now. | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? It will never win any contest here, but Rotel RA-414 has not been beaten in my mind yet. Attach it to AR 18S. | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? "Otherwise, audiophiles are reduced to consumers of a particular type of product. How miserably impoverishing that POV is to me."Sad as it may be, but that is the reality for most of the people out there. Unless you actually build your own equipment. | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. uberwaltz,Thanks. My guess (completely uneducated and wild) was also in tens of thousands worldwide.Does anyone else have more solid idea?When it comes to Switzerland, I guess tradition means something. It is a small country and it seems to be dis... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. It seems that vinny55 is alone in his call to annihilate R2R. Even those who do not see it as a format of any significance at this point, do not call for its forced demise.Still, what do you guys think how many people around the world are actually... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. "...its ready for its NEXT 35 years."Keeping fingers crossed you are ready for the same. | |
| Business Ethics in the Audio Industry "That meant I had to CHEW.... really annoying."That comes with age. And poorly-fitting dentures. | |
| Business Ethics in the Audio Industry "It's very likely that Schitt is doing good Schiit on a regular basis and it's going unheralded."It is as likely that Schiit is doing good on a regular basis as it is that it is not. For now, we have two here who have had bad experiences.Once upo... |
