The source was a CD and I used the DBX noise reduction in record and playback. Color me impressed. Although the CD was ultimately better, I could not believe how close to the source this deck got in capturing the music.

I have recently purchased a teac x-1000r 10" deck; I have ordered two ten and one half inch teac reels. So what is the advantage to having the larger ones opposed to the seven and one half inch ones besides just being able to get more tape on them. If it is just for more room these days it will be expensive to keep buying those large reels as these guys want a lot for them, or is it just a macho thing because they look so much cooler than the little ones.
... that you get a decent amount of recording/playback time if you're using 15 ips as your playback speed, as many of us are.
I recorded this album which is pressed on 180gm vinyl using dbx noise reduction and it also turned out very well. The album is better but again, I'm surprised how close to the original source this deck can achieve. I wish I had some spare metal cassettes.
It's very satisfying. There may still be some quantities of SONY XR60 tapes knocking about on the internet. IIRC, a source in France produced some NOS a few years ago. I got a bunch of them at the time, from a vendor in the US, https://www.totalmedia.com/index.html . They may be able to tell you if they have any more, or where to look for them.
There's a bunch of 10 on the 'Bay right now, for about US$70.
