Just picked up one of these today. Should have it delivered early next week. Did someone say Tape Project?
![]() ![]() Mine is not a Time Code model, so no "T" after the BR-20 Have to admit though, that is one gorgeous machine. Last edited by Johnny Vinyl; 02-08-2015 at 03:20 PM. Reason: title change after merge |

I bought it primarily to make my own tapes with and I wanted a bit better sound than the 4 track machines offer. You know the Tape Project tapes are very expensive so it's not something that I'll get into immediately, but it's nice to know that I have a capable machine if I eventually go that route. Now the deck just needs to arrive in one piece and be as advertised. And I am keeping my fingers crossed on that one. ![]() |

The Tascam was on my doorstep when I got home from work late last night. Only had time to open the box, give it a good inspection, check its functions, clean and demagnatize the tape path and give it a general once over with a cleaning cloth.
The machine is in excellent condition and appears to have been well cared for. I set it up tonight in the listening room and am recording Steely Dan's Everything Must Go lp at 15ips with the IEC equalization selected. I did a test recording of a single track and the playback sounded phenom! ![]() Going to be having some fun this weekend gents! ![]() ![]() Last edited by FreddieFerric; 02-25-2012 at 02:29 AM. |

Did you ever own a RTR at some point in the past? You'll notice that tape is making a big comeback at the CES, RMAF, etc., these days, and getting rave reviews for sound quality. Seems like tape was just kicked to the curb when digital really came on and now it seems that most people have just forgotten how great that analog tape can really sound. Plus, those big wheels turning at night with the lights down and those VU meters flicking away has a high chick factor ![]() ![]() Last edited by FreddieFerric; 02-25-2012 at 01:22 PM. |

Hoping to hear back from the seller soon. It's been less than 24hrs, but I'm anxious to find out. It's a great price and I know the seller from another forum...just hope it hasn't been snatched up yet. Wish me luck, because I can actually afford this.

Tape is not making a comeback at the consumer level, but it is with audiophiles. New decks are not being mass-produced, but there are companies that specialize in reconditioning older machines and bringing them back up to standard and more.

These guys are completely reinventing existing Tascam BR-20's and apparently have no real shortage of product, if you can afford it. http://www.unitedhomeproducts.com/ And let's not forget that Otari will still build you a brand new deck if your heart so desires and your wallet has the green. http://www.otari.com/ So yes, tape is making a comeback with those who can appreciate the format. But let's not kid ourselves. They won't be on display at your nearest Best Buy any time soon. |
