What is a Reel to Reel Master Tape?
Analogue tape almost disappeared as the world went digital in the eighties. Fortunately, some fanatic guys want to save the best-sounding medium.
What is the difference between the best digital sound and Master Tape sound?
According to the testimonials of critical listeners, the difference in sound is dramatic. The Master Tape sound is more realistic and open; the soundstage is wider and deeper (and even higher), the instruments are well placed and defined, and the atmosphere is more present. However, the most crucial difference is in the listening experience: Master Tape recreates the original encounter with live music.
