In these days of magnetic tape revival, wouldnt it be a great moment for a modern designed r2r tape deck.

For example rockport or continuum doing the ultra silent low vibration mechanical /electrical drive system and boulder doing the high bandwith /ultra low noise record repro section.
I also think of a modern redesign of the heads for example.
As tape has capabilties digital will never achieve , in short a quest for the ultimate recorded /reproduced sound
