Great to see r2r’s on the sub. What kind of tape collection do you have?
My 7.5IPS commercial releases are the best sounding physical media that I own. Zeppelin III is probably the crown of my collection.
Can’t say I’ve ever seen cm/s (38 and 19) machine.
This pic over on /r/hometheater made me realize that Auralex or GIK cold make a killing selling TV-covering diffuser panels. Something relatively light weight that could be hung over the TV screen to manage reflections(sound).
I’ve been hanging a wool blanket over my TV screen for critical listening, and I imagine plenty of the folks on this sub do the same.
