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.

Rule 3: Ask troubleshooting and setup questions in the Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk
Requests for troubleshooting and setup help must be made in the dedicated Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk instead of a new post.
Have you contacted the manufacturer?
- You should. For product support, please first contact the manufacturer. Reddit can’t do much about broken or faulty products.
Why does this rule even exist?
- In short, this is a large subreddit with a high volume. We want to help, but it’s important to keep things organized to keep the sub fun. Thanks for your understanding.
Great to see r2r’s on the sub. What kind of tape collection do you have?
My 7.5IPS commercial releases are the best sounding physical media that I own. Zeppelin III is probably the crown of my collection.
Can’t say I’ve ever seen cm/s (38 and 19) machine.
Has a guy who knows nothing about reel to reel machines: that thing is beautiful!
