With all due respect to Jeff Foxworthy, I offer the following:
If you find that your turntable/vinyl ritual is still lacking in tactile fulfillment, you might appreciate adding a reel-to-reel to your rig.
If you seek the highest form of analog sound reproduction, you might appreciate adding a reel-to-reel to your rig.
If you think $450 - $500 for an excellent sounding LP is money well spent, you might appreciate adding a reel-to-reel to your rig.
If you feel your system is too static and lacks visual stimulation (backlit dancing meters, mesmerizing take-up reels, etc.), you might appreciate adding a reel-to-reel to your rig.
If you began your audio journey prior to the mid-70âs and names like Tandberg, Revox, Studer, Nagra, BASF, Maxell, and TDK sound familiar to you, you might appreciate adding a reel-to-reel to your rig.
If you value quality over quantity regarding source material, you might appreciate adding a reel-to-reel to your rig.
If you feel that listening to an album in any manner other than beginning-to-end is a crime against nature, you might appreciate adding a reel-to-reel to your rig.
If you think the fun of routine maintenance shouldnât be limited to your car, you might appreciate adding a reel-to-reel to your rig.
If you have more dollars (or euros) than sense 
and have exhausted the traditional rabbit holes in this hobby (or have a healthy YOLO life view), you might appreciate adding a reel-to-reel to your rig.
If after all this, you choose to start your reel-to-reel journey I can recommend Tech Trader as a source for a âreasonablyâ priced deck. All of his products are fully reconditioned to specs equal to or better than new. I purchased my Revox PR99 MK II about four years ago and it has performed flawlessly from day 1. Urs (the owner) is very responsive to questions before and after a sale. I have no affiliation with him or his business other than being a happy customer.
