Reel To Reel Revival

Quote
… But Acoustic Sounds does it the honest way and, lately, is further removing the boundaries between the master tape and the consumer’s ears. “We’re starting to sell reel-to-reel tape. That’ll get you real damn close,” Kassem says. As he explains, a one-off tape copy is the best format out there, followed by a 45 RPM cut, a 33 RPM cut, and a high-resolution download successively. That said, “If you use the original master — if it’s a good recording, and you’ve got the best mastering engineers doing it — that should get you close.”
