And I suspect @Satanfriendly , @Blackmass @Shadders (?) and more than a few others here might have something to say about that statement...

Thanks but I'm still none the wiser. Looks like Cold War spy equipmentI think it's a TC 765, but I'm no reel to reel aficionado
Hi fidelity is dead. The iPod killed it.

Oracle? I've never actually heard one, but they really look the dogs..Not in my life
No taste whatsoever. A 401? A rumbly old piece of British metal.......which just happens to sound heavenly. Give me a piece of Canada any day
Wow - are you a millenial? - It's a reel to reel tape deck - as used in analogue recording studios - if you see references to the 'mastertape' of a particular recording, this would be the format - capable of astonishing SQ compared to the humble compact cassette (and, arguably, any other front end) - used to be relatively popular as a high end domestic source when I was a child (I remember a friend of my father who would record all his vinyl from an LP12 onto a beautiful Revox reel to reel, and then just listen to the tapes) - a lot more niche these days, but still have a dedicated followingThanks but I'm still none the wiser.

I've just checked the formal definition and I am indeed a millennial - I never knew!Wow - are you a millenial? - It's a reel to reel tape deck - as used in analogue recording studios - if you see references to the 'mastertape' of a particular recording, this would be the format - capable of astonishing SQ compared to the humble compact cassette (and, arguably, any other front end) - used to be relatively popular as a high end domestic source when I was a child (I remember a friend of my father who would record all his vinyl from an LP12 onto a beautiful Revox reel to reel, and then just listen to the tapes) - a lot more niche these days, but still have a dedicated following
I am no expert, but AFAIK reel to reel prerecorded releases were pretty limited - 8 track and cassette took over pretty quickly for domestic use (the term 'mastertape' only refers to the original recording made in the studio) - I'm guessing you'd need pretty deep pockets to build up much of a collection, and you'd be pretty limited re genre etc - I would have thought you'd have seen kit like this in films: you should watch 'The Conversation' - classic Francis Ford Coppola starring Gene Hackman - should bring you up to speed on analogue recording technology...

Thanks for the explanation. I had never heard of it, let alone seen it in domestic use. Were albums once purchased in mastertape?
Are those actually New Order tapes?Not in this house...
