    Pics of trip to JRF Magnetics

    So this is a yearly pilgrimage? I had John install MTR-12 metal heads on my Otari MX5050BII-2. Arrived early on a Monday and didn't want to leave. What a place for a tape head.

    New York Audio Show 2013 looks like a bust!

    My hat is off to you Greg. I will be frequenting your room for sure. Bruce do you mean you will be playing tapes too? And speaking of portable machines I think a Stellavox would be King. If you get my drift. Feeling optimistic. Neal

    New York Audio Show 2013 looks like a bust!
