Listening to Simon and Garfunkel-Parsley Sage, Rosemary and Thyme on my Technics rs 1500us reel to reel, 7 1/2 ps. Sounds Good!! Note to self: Need to buy more tapes!

Skylab, how does this tape sound? I have about 15 pre-recorded reels. My favorite is one done by the Command Label around 1960. The sonics are unreal.

It sounds fantastic! The vast majority of 7.5 IPS commercial reels I have sound somewhere between very good and astonishing. This one I would classify just below astonishing :thmbsp:

 

[Catcher10]

Found this one couple days ago at my fav used record store......Pristine condition, sounds fantastic. Country based songs, which I am not a country fan, but its Nat King Cole...cmooon!

Got to explain how the 1/2" 8-track and 1/2" 2-track Otaris work to my 7 year old today. We listened to a recent tune I recorded called "I'm a Baby," first directly from mixed tracks off the 8-track and then a recent 2-mix on the 1/4" machine.
