Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

RE: Newbie looking for a r2r tape machine. Any recommendations?

not recapping results in compressed dynamics, extra noise, and reliability issues. have compared re-capped vs. no recap. not a huge sonic change....

4 speed decks include Studer A820, Otari MTR-15, Otari MTR-20, and maybe a few others I missed. I have never used my decks at those slow speeds, so can't comments on sonics, but if a person were looking for a deck with all speeds, they are available.
