This thread is not about tape but rather about my feeling that High-Resolution is not “there” yet. It is unquestionable that tape is able to get great sonic result but how obtainable the tapes are? Moreover how obtainable the tapes of the recordings that you want? I would say not obtainable at all. I would like to play what I want and do not make the format providers to dictate my preferences. I do not participate in what Tape Project does. I do not care the music they press. In addition they insist that using their taps I need to kiss them in ass and to express adoration to their products. With this attitude they can only fuck themselves- I have no interest neither in those people nor to the crap do they sell as “music”. I dealt with a few Master Dub providers. They have high sense of self-worth but in my estimation very sub-acceptable results. BTW, the guy that you gave me another day was the worst and his Master Dub was ridicules.
The point that I am trying to make is that as we progress in your interest in music we come across to performances that we would like to get. With CD, LP, 78s, CACD, even with high-resolution formats we have a park of performances that might become available to up. With tape we unfortunately do not have it. At least I never was able to get access to divert tape material. Find for me good master of Bruckner 1 or Bruckner 8 on tape? Good luck to find it…
Nope, I do not feel that tape as a format still available. Sure it you have a few thousands tapes collection then it is a different story. I am sure those people exist, but I am not one of them.
