Reel-to-Reel & Tape Decks
From Mia Wallace's spinning reels to the Nakamichi Dragon — tape is the ultimate analog statement.

The Teac X-2000R spinning in Mia Wallace's living room in Pulp Fiction is the most iconic reel-to-reel scene in cinema. The Nakamichi RX-505 auto-reverse deck flipping a tape in 9½ Weeks is pure mechanical theater. Reel-to-reel and tape are the ultimate analog flex — they look as good as they sound.
The pinnacle of analog recording. Big reels, big sound, and the most mesmerizing mechanical motion in all of audio.
The deck from Pulp Fiction. Auto-reverse, dbx noise reduction, and the last great consumer reel-to-reel Teac ever made. The one Mia Wallace was listening to after Jack Rabbit Slim's.
Swiss precision in a reel-to-reel. The B77 was the standard for broadcast and home recording across Europe. Reliable, serviceable, and sounds incredible on half-track stereo tapes.
Technics' isolated-loop tape transport with quartz-locked direct-drive capstan. Studio-grade specs in a consumer chassis. One of the best-sounding reel-to-reel decks ever made for home use.
The compact tape format that defined the ‘80s and '90s. From budget decks to the legendary Nakamichi — cassette is back.
The auto-reverse deck where the tape physically flips inside the mechanism. The most dramatic mechanical motion in all of audio. Featured in 9½ Weeks. A Nakamichi collector's grail.
The greatest cassette deck ever made. NAAC auto-azimuth correction, discrete three-head transport, and sound quality that embarrasses digital sources. The absolute endgame for tape.
One of the few cassette decks still in production. Dual-well, USB output, and built for the recording and transfer market. The modern option for people who want a new deck with a warranty.
You need something to record on. New-old-stock tape, blank cassettes, and the accessories that keep your decks running.
New-production reel-to-reel tape from the last remaining US tape manufacturer. 1/4" on 7" reels in multiple lengths. The go-to for anyone recording on reel-to-reel today.
Still-available blank normal-bias cassettes. Perfectly adequate for mixtapes, demos, and the cassette revival. Buy in bulk, record with abandon.
The essential reel-to-reel editing tool. Splicing block, razor blade holder, and splicing tape for cutting and joining tape. Analog editing the way it was done for decades.
Tape decks need a good amplifier and speakers to shine. And don't forget the tape stock.
