 | | Reel-to-reel recorders continued to be used by audiophiles and professionals through the 1980s, when digital audio recording techniques began to allow the use of other types of media (such as DAT cassettes and hard disks). |
 | | The performance of tape recording is greatly affected by the width of the tracks used to record a signal, and the speed of the tape. |
 | | Reel to reel was still popular through to the end of the 1970s, despite the ubiquitous cassette, mostly because of the superior quality of open reel recordings. |
