A very well respected recording/mastering engineer mastered the same
album for CD, SACD, and R2R tape. He played the CD first - pretty nice
I thought. Then he played the SACD - big improvement. Last was the R2R
tape, 7 ips 2 track if memory serves, which was orders of magnitude
better than the SACD and CD.
We're not going to see the resurgence of R2R tape - too expensive, too
fiddly.
