Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

RE: You all saw this,yes? -- a "new" reel to reel deck coming from Switzerland

"Need to rethink the reproduce/record electronics tho."

I've heard that before. Someone recently said to me, regarding the Studer pro decks, "keep the transport and throw out the electronics". I thought that was a bit harsh, but still, a valid observation. Record electronics in tape decks haven't gotten the attention they deserve and NEED. They are, after all, amplifier circuits, and are where the signal is prepped for storage to tape. Everything downline is dependent upon the quality of that originally stored signal. They're the forgotten stepchild of amplifier circuit design.
