One thing that separates today's audiophiles from their predecessors is home recording. Many an audiophiles made their own home recordings--and JGH used to feature a regular column on reel to reel tape decks and recording in his then fledgling Stereophile.
Today, as is my case, I use my r2r for playback--but there's a growing minority out there who claim there's a third use for r2r decks beyond live recording and playback; theses audiophiles report that LPs copied at 15 ips on r2r decks sound better than the source disc.
How many out there have tried this and what are your impressions? Is the recorded tape better or simply different. Is it a case of the head bump adding a little richness to the recordings.
Waiting to hear everyone's experience!
