These two lovely songs came to me on some "empty" reels that I bought - the original studio masters at 30ips, with the proper leader separation.
Let me know if you recognize the music or the artists. The YouTube copyright screen did not find any issues so they are probably some local talents, but I love their music.
The tape is playing on a modified Ampex ATR-800. The playback head is OEM Ampex, and the signal goes through an all-tube head preamp that has two settings: 15 and 30ips. The complete signal chain from the head to the speakers is all-tube, with 64 tubes all working in a gorgeous unison.
