Re: If reel to reel is so great, why's everyone so crazy about vinyl?

Initially it was a little tough and required persistence and patience to get my two akai R2R players up and running as they should, but with a little preventive maintenance they purr just fine now.
Finding good quality material to play and record is the problem. Most prerecorded tapes aren't up to what they R2R's are capable. I set the timers and tape mostly late night jazz and ambiance to listen to later.
If you care to spend some time they are fun to play with and wonderful to listen to.
