    Certainly is. Since starting my new R2R fetish, I haven't bought a single LP

    At the price of recorded tape these days I'm not surprised, I'd love a r2r but the cost of music is a major put off plus any I've seen for sale seems to be mostly classical, jazz or blues which I don't listen to.

    There's plenty of material, if you're prepared to look further afield.

    After hearing Alans R2R at NEBO5 I think it trounced every other source. And it was playing digital recordings
    Main system : VPI Scout 1.1 / JMW 9T / 2M Black / Croft 25R+ / Croft 7 / Heco Celan GT 702

    Second System : Goldring Lenco GL75 / AT95EX / Pioneer SX590 / Spendor SP2

    Why thank you Jim, Im flattered as there was some cracking music played on that event especially Marcos 1210 through your Croft pre and nic phono
    What I would say is at home I have very good sources from Vinyl, Digital and tape formats and they all sound excellent but 95% of my listening is Via R2R and it just does it for me
