IF YOU ARE NEWER TO REEL TO REEL AND WANT TO KNOW WHY THE EXPERTS BELOW SAY IT IS MUCH BETTER THAN VINYL OR RECORDS, PLEASE read this. REEL TO REEL TAPE IS THE NEW VINYL, EXPERTS SAY IT SOUNDS BETTER, The roots of this audio trend can be traced back to 2013, when a persnickety critic for The Absolute Sound shocked his readers by proclaiming that a reel-to-reel deck absolutely crushed the highest rated turntable rig ever reviewed by the magazine. A refresh of this same audiophile tape machine snagged one of The Absolute Sound’s coveted "Editors’ Choice" awards this year AND SUBSEQUENT YEARS FOR GREAT SOUND REEL TO REEL IS THE WAY TO GO. What makes tape such a smart choice? For starters, it has greater dynamic range than vinyl, with extraordinary sound at the frequency extremes: the treble and bass. Next, consider the amount of signal processing that each medium requires. Vinyl: a lot. Tape: very little. Signal processing is the enemy of hi-fidelity. The less studio voodoo the master tape (MT) is subjected to, the better. Then there’s the dicey issue of playback. With turntables, all sorts of mechanical foibles rumbles, skips, speed stability, groove distortion, et cetera — can further degrade the signal. In contrast, R2R is an exercise in simplicity. The only moving part at the point of signal retrieval is the tape, which travels in a straight line across a stationary playback head. Efficiency equals fidelity.

This is a pet free no smoking household office one man operation, prior owner had a small cat and was also a non-smoker, so when he took photos once in a while, a stray tiny hair got into a photo, as photos are taken behind a small camera so hard to see any imperfection when a photo is taken which is not a scratch, so if you see a mark on a record photo in listing that is not a scratch or mark. I CLEAN RECORDS before I ship WITH AUTOMATED 1000 DOLLAR PROFESSIONAL RECORD STORE CLEANER so of course record will be clean and I ALSO INCLUDE FOR FREE NEW MINT GENERIC SLEEVES PAPER/POLY FREE IN YOUR PACKAGE. I SHIP IN BRAND NEW BOXES AND BRAND NEW CARDBOARD FLATS inside box for reinforcement & bubble wrap if necessary.

I personally play test all records and grade them as a certified record grader when I worked at Goldmine Magazine, the leading record grading magazine. I do not sell any records that are brand new pressed and made this current year we are in right now. The buyer of this item understands they are buying record(s) and (sleeves if applicable) that are decade(s) old and the buyer is instructed as well in the listing to view photos for condition of the album cover, sleeve and record(s) decades old album covers are not expected to look like brand new sealed unopened album covers made this current year as an example, We do not grade anything as a New Mint Sealed Record, all our items are sold as used even if unopened sealed and never played as they are older records and with time may not sound the same as the same record repressed this current year on brand new record pressing equipment with brand new vinyl though of course records are durable. The grading rules are a couple paragraphs above this paragraph in this listing so please do not buy if you want a new record pressed this current year which we do not sell, as vintage records - as buyers know- have on the run in of the record - you can hear a little needle chatter on some older records due to the needle of the stylus which still vibrates in the record groove. These vibrations cause very faint vibrations in the air (in other words, 'sound'), so the sound of the needle is not very loud. As experienced record buyers know the sound that you are hearing is the stylus in the groove vibrating back and forth when there is not a loud band or instruments playing between or during a song or for example during the run in of the record which has no grooves as well. If a buyer has dusty records in need of cleaning or buyer's record player stylus cartridge or needle is old, damaged, or the record player is not properly balanced you can cause damage to a record by the needle not being in great shape and perpendicular to the record it is playing and this will cause static, noise, skips, interruptions, or if not balanced properly, even a needle making a deep mark in record and getting stuck so make sure you take care of your equipment and replace parts with new parts when required and balance record player yearly, This item is sold as is, with no applicable returns except those that qualify per the ebay guarantee of course which we do accept. Other returns such as ordered by mistake, changed my mind, found a better price, don't like the music genre, doesn't fit, etcetera are at seller's discretion per ebay rules and we strive to give excellent customer service on returns as well.
