Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

RE: Home recording

> Any new alternative tape NRS I don't know about?

I never felt the need for noise reduction when I had a Revox A77 operating at 7.5-ips quarter track. I suspect it's even less needed if you record at half track.

On the other hand, for $900 you can buy an excellent TASCAM DSD recorder and that's what I use now. The media is so much cheaper and the noise floor is non existent. I think DSD128 sounds just about as analog as you'll get with tape. At any rate, it's exceedingly accurate. Therefore, if you copy a tape, your DSD copy will sound just like tape. And, when I copy a vinyl record, my DSD128 copies sound identical to vinyl. The best part is the cost of media. I can't afford analog tape anymore. ;-)

Best regards,
