How are you doing everyone? My first post, I'm an expat from Massachusetts living in Lima, Peru. I just bought a Tascam 44OB from my brother-in-law out here who wanted a stereo deck not a 4 track, this had been totally restored at a very good place in CA in 2016 right before he bought it so it's in very nice condition. I found this place through a google query for reel to reel pancakes which brought me to a video which showed how and how easy it looks to transfer them to reels. I also have just learned about Tape Shed Syndrome from two Ampex 456 tapes he gave me, one is good, the other is shedding and is virtually useless so I need to buy some new tape which I how I found out about reel to reel pancakes.
Anyway, I recorded a Procol Harum Live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra CD onto the good real and it sounds amazing to me. I'm a lifelong musician and have what I feel are pretty good ears for music. I just bought a remote control for it tonight and am running it through the Pioneer rack system I have using the Monitor Bronze 500 speakers.
Incidentally I'm a lifelong bassist and have been using 300 watt all tube Ampeg SVT bass amps for at least 45 years.
