Spectreman Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hi. Just discovered and joined this forum. I am a reel to reel tape deck enthusiast, love the sound of analog tape and making my own music mix tapes. I currently own a Tascam 42, Pioneer RT1050, Nagra III, Nagra E. Would be very interested to hear from any other members who have these same decks, or any Nagra decks, my favorite all time brand ! I am always interested in obtaining more tape, particularly 10 inch reels, if anyone has tape for sale, please let me know. I am a technical person, and have done basic re-conditioning work on tape decks, but I am not set up for full re-alignment of heads or stuff like that. Cheers, Chris.

allthumbs Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Welcome aboard, specialists and specialist knowledge abounds on this site. I grew up in an era where the Reel to Reel tape recorder as represented by TV and movies was always the cutting edge of technology for both evil and good, rooms of silently spinning tapes advancing the path of humanity or nefariously programming its downfall. They always looked cool no matter what. Looking back through hi-fi magazines from the 50's right through to the early '70's it looked at some stages like a close run race in the analogue wars as to which technology was going to triumph, vinyl or tapes both reel to reel and cassette. I'm kinda amazed vinyl won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
