Introduction

[appiller]

Hello everybody,

after being a member of the direct predecessor of this forum I just joined it´s sucessor and I think a brief introduction is in place.

Maybe like some of you too (?) I bought me a Reel to Reel Deck some years ago fulfilling me a dream I couldn´t really afford in the 70´s when I was a teenager.

After purchasing an AKAI GX 636 (silver) I could´t resist buying another deck some months later (this time it was an AKAI GX 646).

Right now I own besides the two above mentioned decks two more (an AKAI GX 635DB -yes I like the AKAI´s - and a Technics RS 1700).

So I started my own collection of Reel to Reel Decks you could say.

My wish to buy list is almost endless: To mention some -
SONY TC 755A,
PIONEER 909,
AKAI GX 747 dbx,
AKAI GX 285,
TEAC X 2000...

I think there is nothing like listening to a big Reel to Reel deck an watching the big reels turning; well there a probably a few other things...:D

greetings

Couldn't agree more. Love the LOOK of the reels in the room and spinning every bit as much as I enjoy the sound. Got some nice decks there. I once had a gray GX-646 (along with a 635DB and a 747DBX) but I sold them all a long time ago. Now I just have a pair of both X-1000R and X-2000R Teacs.

Thanks for coming over. Welcome!
