    Just found your video. Loved your explanation. I worked in radio for 40 years and used a variety of reel to reel decks.

    I have a 707 and I can't believe how much I learned from this video and what I've been doing wrong. My recordings are excellent now. Thank you so much. It's like I have a whole new deck now.

    Thank you for a very interesting and inspiring video. I love reel to reel, since the time my Dad bought Tandberg 4000X, in 1970s. On my 50th anniversary I received a Pioneer Rt-707, what a great gift it was. If I only knew to what it would lead... Despite being in love with cassette decks such as Nakamichi Zx-7, 680, etc, the Pioneer won the battle and made me go for more of reel to reel machines. So, it all ended in the following. Now I have: Akai Gx-625, Teac X-2000M, Technics RS-1500 (two machines), Otari MX-55N, Grundig tk-246, and a Pioneer RT-707 of course... Frankly, no regrets about the money spent, they all sound great and offer a lot of joy when listening music or recording it.

    No other reel to reel machine is built like this. The worst someone could do is scratch it, not much to break. It's everything someone could want in a 7" deck. The features include nonstop playback, which truly makes this machine highly desirable. I own 3, one of which was released without a serial number on it's plate.

    Thoroughly enjoyed watching this.I spent hours of time doing this. Thanks to Pioneer that made this so much fun. Then came the hi tech cassettes. What a glorious time I'm still awe struck about.

    Oooh, those white/orange "audiotape" boxes, that's the brand my dad seems to have used the most. I get all nostalgic.

    I liked the sound of the Broadway shows. Thanks for posting the samples and all the comments. Your explanations were spot on.

  • @TheFlyingBarrel

    This is such an excellent and comprehensive overview of both reel-to-reel and the 707. Thank you for creating this!

    It was a wonderful explanation about reel to reel, and tapes, how they work and bias eq.😊

    Very informative video. Thank you. I’ve been a vinyl collector for years and have toyed with the idea of adding a reel to reel to the mix, mainly for high quality prerecorded music. Thank you.

    Amazing work

    great presentation, congratulations, also very nice and captivating, in its exposure. I am about to get hold of an RT 707 and you have given me a lot of suggestions and clarifications. Thank you again.

    I picked up my 707 in a small town thrift shop for $40(!!!). All that was wrong with it was a burnt out direction bulb (looks like BOTH of yours are burnt out!) and a broken tape counter belt. I'm hoping to pull the faceplate off this week to fix both. Also used to have the RT-909 10-1/2" reel model and I still kick myself for selling that one.

  • @Madjed2024

    Loved your video so much

  • @JetScreamer_YT

    I always wanted one of these growing up. Reel-to-reel has the best audio quality.
