The most expensive music format (in the world).
Added 2017-12-13 11:34:38 +0000 UTCThis video explores reel to reel audio and I get to try out the current high end home version of this resilient format.
Wow - how time flies, I had the idea of making this video in 2015, bought the machine I needed to turn this into a reality back in October 2016, and now here we are in December 2017 and it's finally finished.
However now I've tried the best, I'm going to carry on searching out the rest.
P.S. As far as the Patreon fees issue goes, I'm still exploring options.
P.P.S. - No I'm not - Patreon have changed their mind. Itβs probably too late to get back the supporters I've lost, but hopefully it should keep the people who remain happy. I'm not planning on going anywhere else.
UPDATE - The full Stereo Demo tape from 1957 can now be downloaded from my website http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2017/12/14/is-reel-to-reel-the-new-vinyl.html

It's hard to see a legitimate need to own a reel to reel machine. I use mine for things I do for the channel, but if I didn't have that then I'm quite sure I would never use them. The one in the lounge is really just there because I like the way it looks, just like someone might have a sculpture on display.

2018-01-06 09:46:00 +0000 UTCThis video makes me want to get a reel to reel machine for myself. I can see the cost being too prohibitive though. The Mrs wasn't very impressed when I bought a $500 Sony TC-KA3ES cassette deck from Japan after watching your cassette video. Still, I've been having fun making mix tapes with Dolby S and metal cassettes, experiencing what I missed out on with cassettes in my youth. Oh and I had to buy the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtracks on cassette! <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/lvod0r1a0zor3kf/Sony%20TC-KA3ES.jpg?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/lvod0r1a0zor3kf/Sony%20TC-KA3ES.jpg?dl=0</a>
2018-01-05 23:03:45 +0000 UTCI'm sure she does ;-) These machines have a habit of multiplying - I've got another one being delivered tomorrow. I have no idea yet whether it works or not. I may video in realtime the excitement/disappointment of finding out.

2017-12-27 23:28:24 +0000 UTCI had no idea that reel to reel music sounded so clear and loud. My only experience with reel to reel players was 30 years ago in French class. Our French course material came with companion reel to reel tapes to practice in the classroom. After listening to that demo tape from the 50's you played for us I want to find a player for myself. My wife thanks you for getting me into another expensive hobby. ππ€π
