If you like records (vinyl they are called now for reasons I don't understand) then try some of Ampex's commercially produced reel to reel tapes from the later 1960s. The smooth response and lack of distortion puts modern methods into the shade once the music starts. Before that point you will hear the hiss (but you get used to it!).
