    If tape is so good why does it record so poorly?

    I use Otari MTR 10's and 12's fully restored and modified by Soren, in Indiana. I know at least one other person using Otari's as well and at least one person who use MCI's. Not the Mara Machines. I also use TASCAM 44ob's when I am doing 7 1/2 IPS 1/4 track duplication. Also restored and...

    New Analog Audio Design Reel-To-Reel Tape Playback Deck In Production

    I know Christophe from the time we spent together working with RTM tape. A great guy and I have told him that I would be happy to help him set tech support in North America when and if he starts selling his machines here. I know most of the great tech's across the country.

    Nagra repair anyone!

    From what I heard, Doc walked away from the Nagra service deal. I have no idea why. I use to know a couple of people down at Trew Audio, but that was years ago, when they kind of walked away from the Nagra service business. Back in the 1990's I knew people in LA, Chicago, and New York who...
