Took me forever to get a good Working Reel to Reel and Amp combo, but wow it was worth the money and effort, the sound is amazing. Back to the early 70's..... I feel like Austin Powers LOL
When albums started landing on YouTube, I made the mistake of selling a lot of my vinyl -- save space, keep up with the kids. Then I went to listen to BOC's Tyranny and Mutation and it just sounded flat. No worries, it was easily available used on CD. But that sucked too! The guitars just don't scream, the snares don't sting, the drums don't hit you in the chest. It just sounds crisper on vinyl, and maybe too it's the sound I grew up with. Some 70's stuff of course sounds great on CD, but to my ears the hard rock guitar stuff generally loses something.
