Reel 2 Reel


Anyone here using R2R tape decks? If so what kind?
jsman
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.
