Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

I agree! The early 4 Tracks (1950's-1960's) are usually fantastic!

And most have no audible high frequency losses even after 50 years. Truly amazing! Reel to Reel offers the largest soundstage, deepest bass and the fullest sound of any format out there in my opinion.

Next time it comes up for bid get Martin Denny's Exotica on Liberty / Bel Canto real time duplicated (1:1) Reel to Reel you will be absolutely floored.

Another ear wakening experience is comparing any of Columbia's non-Columbia House 7 ½ IPS Reel to Reels (MQ and CQ) to their LP or SACD versions. Forget the Columbia House editions (1R1) these range from poor to so-so. The early ones made for sale in stores will blow the LP versions clean out of the water!
