Keeping the
Reel-To-Reel
Renaissance
in Motion
The London-based specialist building bridges between analogue heritage and a new generation of serious listeners.
LondonInternational outlook
The proposition
Music should be more than an invisible stream. The medium is part of the encounter.
Threading a tape, setting speed and equalisation, watching the reels turn and hearing a carefully produced recording unfold without interruption creates a relationship with an album built on attention, patience and respect.
Through OpenReelToReel Group and The Sound of Tape, Oleg Netchaev connects collectors, labels, artists, manufacturers and listeners who believe sound quality, provenance and physical formats still matter.
A living high-fidelity format
Heritage with a future.
OpenReelToReel Group does not treat reel-to-reel as a museum piece. It presents magnetic tape as a living format sustained by vintage-machine owners, recording engineers, specialist manufacturers, independent labels and collectors seeking the closest practical connection to an original master recording.
