I used to love “Get off of my Cloud”

Of course they had no idea back then what the same phrase could mean these days…M’soft would go out of business… :stuck_out_tongue:

A visit of Guy’s reel to reel tonight.
On the first couple of tapes it sounded ridiculously good,infact better than any source i’ve heard on my system

If money wasn’t an object,i could quite easily get heavily involved.

Will stick a couple of youtube clips up soon.

I know R2R look good & sound even better, but where would you get tapes with good quality recordings of music that isn’t just plinky plonky jazz from the 1950’s?

I guess if jazz and classical are part of your main listening then it would warrant an investment.

Would love to hear some blues on one.

Nope. Stuff like Kraftwerk is musically very simplistic - most of it is just beeps. mp3 sounds as good as SACD. Jazz and classical is where high resolution is important. Most of the audiophile favourites (Pinks, Dires, Kraftwerk) get no benefit.

Get thee to the R2R thread :slightly_smiling_face:

Damn,forgot about that thread,can mods move it over there please.

Need me a dedicated R2R table!

Very nice :+1: I had a R2R for a while in 84, got rid because I could never find any tapes worth the extra cost, plus there were only a few artists that were of interest that had anything released on R2R. Was fun making compilation tapes on it though.
