Reel 2 Reel - bottomless pit of faff, expense and hisssssssss

Nah, it’s rubbish. I’ll dispose of it for you.

(I do have another Donovan tape coming but can’t recall what speed it is).

You’re very welcome to this one, I think you’ll really enjoy the clarity and uncompressed sound :+1:

‘Sunny day’ on the 2nd side sounds quite lovely. Its all a bit twee for my tastes, but the sound quality is something else.

Shame this isn’t on 7.5 ips

Mr Jan-Eric Persson received my order today :sob:

For sure, no reason, no justification, other than:

Because tape.

Should sound sublime at 15ips :heart_eyes:

(That is why I sold my 15ips machine - tape is waaay too spendy).

We need to have a tape copying bake off…

And in a few years a tape-bake :smile:

Considering its 2 reels, dubbed 1:1 off the original master tape I actually don’t think the price is unreasonable. I’m also going to make the assumption it will retain most of its value, the Tape Project tapes certainly have.

But really, I just thought fuck it, got to try it once, and I bloody love Eric Bibb.

You won’t regret it, it will be utter quality that Edd :+1:

Only if you buy Ampex back-coated…

I’m still waiting for these to arrive through the post -

May be my favourite Rolling Stones album, on 7.5ips -

A must have, in great condition -

And high expectations of the sound from this at 7.5 ips
