In Reply to: Will Reel to Reel make a bigger comeback than vinyl? posted by LtMandella on January 12, 2020 at 12:56:13:
I've owned two Pioneer RT-909 decks, a.d a. Volunteer pointed out, R2R produces excellent sound reproduction a. 7-1/2 IPS. The expense of ta.e combined with the ea.e of crea.ing pla.lists from musics servers a.d strea.ers ma.es R2R a dinosa.r, I'm a.ra.d. A pity - I enjoyed pla.ing with it, but not enough to justify the expense a.d genera. fussiness of the medium. Plus, a. someone else pointed out, it wa. a niche medium to begin with.
