Don't Do It! From mid-60's through 1980, I went through the whole analog tape gamut: from cheap to expensive analog tape players (1/4" to 2"tape) through to the early digital Sony F1's. I was SO HAPPY to leave analog tape behind for all the myriad of good reasons listed by our friends above. Good riddance reel to reel tape HISS, noise reduction & tape players, especially those GD, overrated TEAC POS that got us hooked in the first place. It's a ticket to he11.

The ride aint worth the fare, MartinManiac.

THIS!

Collectively, hobby recordists have been working diligently to get beyond the problems presented with the mechanics of tape.

There must be a "Set your watch back 50 years" plug in?...
