Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

And you're OBVIOUSLY not committed to analog :-)

Me, since I got the Nak BX-300 a few months ago I've been dubbing my best cassettes (off-air "Jazz Alive" performances I originally recorded in the 70s and 80s) onto OPEN REEL TAPE. Beat that, tape fans.

For those scratching their heads, the original cassette performances (Freddie Hubbard, Stan Getz, Warne Marsh, Joe Henderson, Bobby Shew, etc) either started in the middle of a cassette or started on one side and continued to the second one. NOT TIDY, and hard to locate when searching. Yeah, I could have dubbed them onto CD via my Tascam CD-RW700, but what's the fun in that? Besides, the resulting open reel tapes via an Otari MX5050 BII2 and deHavilland 222 tapehead preamp sound better (well, to me) than the original cassettes.
