    I’ve had somewhat of a tumultuous relationship with reel to reel; my first Pioneer RT-707 didn’t record, my Otari MX-5050 snapped more tapes than a turtle, and my next few decks were poorly maintained.

    In the next few years I avoided getting back into the format, until i saw this Denon DH-710S and bit the bullet one last time. I’m glad I did. The sound of analogue tape is hard to describe - big, luscious and velvety smooth - without a hint of sluggishness.
