Part Two: Ken's original article in PS-Copper Magazine in September 11, 2022 was of our 7" pre-production reels. This is Ken's review of the production spools we recently released for purchase.

In this article we take a look at re-mastering reel to reel and/or cassette tapes to digital, while not only preserving the original recording quality, but, in some cases, improving it.

We get asked a lot of questions about reel to reel players. These range from how to buy one to recording, playback and the maintenance of both tapes and decks. We thought it would be helpful to assemble a list of tips and suggestions from our reel to reel community as well as some notable experts around the industry.

Running a finger over the spooled tape reveals no unevenness, no ridges. It made me think of (and I compared them to) fresh blank tape as it arrived from the factory. For this alone, anyone who uses 7-inch spools on a regular basis should purchase at least one for critical playback of treasured tapes.
