The Tape Project
Posted on | April 21, 2008 |
About a year ago I became aware of The Tape Project. The short story, for those who don’t click on the link: it’s a collaboration between a few mastering studios, a hi-fi manufacturer and a tape machine refurbisher to re-master recordings for 1/4″ two-track open reel format and supply the necessary mod to existing “consumer-grade” machines for excellent sonic results.
This is a boutique collaboration, to be sure, but the parties involved seem very dedicated, capable and right-headed.
Interested in great sounded analog at affordable prices, but don’t have an open reel two-track? No worries, they’ve made a recommendation for the Technics RS1500, and offer several upgrade paths for the electronics, depending on your budget. Want to go whole hog and get a completely refurbed machine? That can be arranged as well.
Anyway, if sound quality matters to you and you’ve got a few “k” to part with, check it out!
