MyReelClub (the producer of this tape) is the brainchild of long-time broadcast engineer and designer Koscó Ferenc, who in 2020 set out to create the opportunity for the music buying public to be much more informed and involved in its production, understand its origins, recording process and therefore make more informed choices when it came to quality and format. Keep this in mind as you read this review.Ī lot of reviews I do can be of a similar nature – this product vs that product, shape size, colour, DAC chip etc, and while all are interesting for anyone who enjoys exploring HiFi and seeking its comparative differences, its great fun when something a bit different comes along (especially when it’s on open reel tape) – and this is one of those cases.

Most of us, unless you are of very deep pockets, live alone or can set up your room without regard for others will have to seek compromise in some aspect of our listening – be it the size of the speaker, the cost of the component, the balance of bass vs high end detail, acoustic treatments etc – hopefully, you get my drift. For me, HiFi and audio can be a search for the Goldilocks zone of what’s on offer. Putting aside the blatant criminal intent, the core theme of this tale is finding the perfect balance – the porridge she likes best is not too hot, not too cold but “just right”, and the bed that is neither too soft nor too hard, but again “just right”.
