[@harrysmusicroom]

I would love to but without being able to play the tapes to hear what it sounds like it would be difficult

[@RacerRecords]

Cool stuff Harry! And a pleasure to meet you in the chat the other day! A good haul = a good day!

[@harrysmusicroom]

Harry: You asked us to let know you know if we had reel-to-reels...had is the operative word...sold my Teac A-3300SX a few months after I sold the Marantz 2275...and about for the same price.😭😭😭

[@harrysmusicroom]

I had a vintage Marantz as well, but upgraded to the Marantz PM8006

harry she is still mesmerized by nipper wow that is so cute lol

[@harrysmusicroom]

I know, and if I move it she looks for it everywhere now.

Fantastic haul Harry! One of these days I gotta make it down to Rainy Day. Heard so many great things about it.

[@harrysmusicroom]

Kind of small but they pack a lot in there, and they have some decent used equipment as well.

[@R3TR0R4V3]

Wow, _incredible_ haul, Harry! That's a homerun there man. 👍😎👍 I have several R2R machines that I inherited, but don't have much in the way of prerecorded albums like you got. I'd love to collect them, but they're so damn expensive, it's a major barrier to entry, unless I lucked out like you did there. I mainly stick with vinyl, which is expensive enough these days. Lol

[@harrysmusicroom]

I have the best luck finding them at record shows where often the sellers don't know what they have, or don't care because it's not vinyl.

[@Onteo1]

Absolutely love reel to reels. I did a lot of recording of vinyl in the 80s to that format for playback when working on my first house (before cds) Sadly I sold my decks, but have been looking for a good deck again. I started collecting pre- recorded tapes about 20 years ago and went after favorite bands and titles. Monkees, Beatles, McCartney, ten years after and Steppenwolf among others. I’m honing in on pioneer, teac , Akai and a few others. Unfortunately we don’t have any stereo equipment stores with Reel to reel equipment in western NY. Love to see some needle or head drops on your minute videos. 8 Tracks are still cool in my book too. Great haul Harry !

[@harrysmusicroom]

wow sounds like you have some rare reels....(originally from Binghamton)

[@Onteo1]

@@harrysmusicroom thanks. I was fortunate enough to start buying them before their value went up. I’ve been to Binghamton several times.

[@ronfowlermusic]

Jimmy Swaggart could have asked his cousin Jerry Lee all about drugs. lol. Nice haul there, Harry.

[@harrysmusicroom]

Thanks Ron

[@MrJDNJ]

Now I have to wonder what these albums would sound like if someone bought a bunch of blank reel to reel tape and recorded the CD tracks onto them. Would it sound more or less original than the original tapes that got transferred to CD?

[@harrysmusicroom]

I've made some reels of albums that were only available on CD and they sound very good. Not really different than if you put them onto a cassette tape in the old days.

[@krwd]

amazing prices Harry some good stuff wow the reel to reel prices are outstanding i own about 300 reel to reels majority 7 1/2 ips not many in the way of rock, many soundtracks, country, orchestral instrumental and classical in my opinion they sound superior to cd and vinyl with vinyl being a close second 👍👍

[@harrysmusicroom]

The CS&N sounds amazing!

[@BobbyGass5]

Another "Butcher Cover"? Shit Harry will you ever be satisfied picking up that record? How many of them do you have now? You spent over 2 grand in that record store, I'll bet after you left they closed down the store and went home for the rest of the day. LOL

[@revkarl]

No, Bobby, they went to the nearest bar and bought a round....

[@BobbyGass5]

@@revkarl LOL, I'll bet. LOL

[@harrysmusicroom]

Bobby, they just keep going up in value so I buy them when I find nice ones.
