Open Reel Pre-recorded Tapes: Totally Worth It! | eBay



Pretty good article on RtRs.-

Good information for new guys wanting to break into analog mediums.





"There is a misconception that I've heard voiced among some parties that analog tape actually compresses audio. This is not only untrue, but is stated from ignorance.
Here are the facts; tape, when saturated will produce compression, that is very desirable in some recording situations. Unsaturated, that is, recorded at decent levels without clipping, tape will outperform vinyl every time. Period.
Besides, most of the records and CD's you listen to, started out on analog tape, or was at least mastered to tape."
