Just wanted to introduce myself.


Hello everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ryan. I'm a young reel to reel and vinyl fanatic. I have several TEAC reel to reels, my favorite is my A-3340S. My username is my nickname, as I have a lisp on "S," which resembles a snake's hissing. Anyway, just wanted to say hey.
Thanks,
Ryan (Or Kaa, or Snake, whatever you want to call me. :) )

Welcome Ryan.  I was a big reel to reel enthusiast back in the 70's.  I had I believe a Teac A2100S.  It was 3 heads, solenoid controls and did 3 3/4 and 7 1/2ips.  It was also auto reverse.    I wish I had kept it but sold it when CD came out.  Have fun.
Yes welcome Ryan! Fascinated by reel to reel just not enough room here for one and the reels seem so expensive. But they sound amazing!
Hi, Ryan.
  As a young guy, how did you get involved with reel to reel?
   I've had my hands on many 1/4" and half inch decks in my profession. I wish I could afford to invest in R-R for my home system.

What decks have you owned and what tape stock have you tried? Ever buy any NOS stock, by that I'm referring to virgin or one-pass vintage tape?
