But do you have one of THESE?
I got interested in RTR years ago. I bought a version of Beethoven's 9th and I never heard such sonic quality in my entire life. I once recorded an EP on 1" reel, and even though it was ultimately released on CD it felt totally bitchin' to be on tape.
Now, RTR players don't always work perfectly, they sometimes chew up the tape, and they are hard to carry when you're out for a jog. They can't be beat for the quality but, unlike with the vinyl revival, there aren't any new releases (or old ones) coming out on RTR of which I'm aware.
