Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

I agree








I was willing to watch her video far longer than his, for the reasons you mentioned. As Joni Mitchell said in one of her songs, "Sex sells everything".

The images above are all I could think of when I started watching the guy's video. That, and my mind briefly saw a Dahlquist DQ-10 behind him, which quickly turned into the flat screen TV that it was.

In his video, I got as far as, "It has spools, which I like a lot better than tapes" before I left.

My comments could be perceived as elitist, or trying to come across as an expert, but the truth is I haven't used a reel to reel recorder since I was about 14. But God, if you're making one of these videos, at least learn the basic terminology, especially with a machine as fine as a Nagra, before you expose your ignorance to the world.

Similarly, since you've mentioned one of your other hobbies on the Asylum before, you may be able to identify with this. I was watching an old "Cops" re-run on TV the other night. The officer disarmed a guy, showed the Glock to the camera, and said, "He had one in the chamber, and a full clip". Sheesh!
