Maybe I should invite him over here ? Anyone knows his email that he actually checks ? 
@inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are
You say what? 
What makes tape sound better than vinyl ?
On the contrary, this thread is about open reel decks and tape, I only mentioned cassette as an example of a 'mini reels'. We can compare anything to anything. 
What makes tape sound better than vinyl ?
Bigger, or fuller, or both is the right term, I think. Smoother too.Cassette decks also have very slow speed. But for a cassette some Naks and Tandbergs are very impressive, especially with Vertex tape and no dolby. And that's with captured lamp p... 
@inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are
I said "biggest frustrations". You distort my words too. Where did you learn it, I wonder ? And I didn't say "all".

Conversion of electrical into magnetic and back to electrical is not the same as conversion of mechanical into electromagnetical. Ralph, you know it better than I do. As for if something is altered in any case - probably. To use an analogy, conver...

Well, it's his style. I stopped reading reviews on a regular basis a long time ago, anyway. Besides, there is so much used equipment that I think this will forever be enough for me. Except for cartridges and cables. Cables keep improving significa... 
My rant; we don't know what we don't know
Others’ posts also often help to figure out what you are unlikely to like. At any price level above $10k used I can construct in my mind a few systems that I am certain enough I would like. Starting with speakers. Unless it is a masterpiece, but m...

Tell me what speakers you choose and why and I'll tell you who you are. You might not want to listen, though.Achieving synergy, whatever creates it, is not difficult. Finding the perfect match is on the other hand probably impossible. So when it i...
