Hi guys,

I´m Rainer and a real reel-to-reel fan since 1980 when I bought my first Akai GX635.

Meanwhile I´ve got five reel-to-reel machines (Revox PR99, Studer A807, Telefunken M15A and small Akai GX77) to produce real master tapes.
Which I have been sold all over Europe and some in USA. (I discoverd an USA forum entry by chance here:

With 8 best reviews (A+++ to A-) in 8 issues of the German magazin "analog" I´m one of the four best tape dealers in Europe (for classical music, organ and jazz).
Here you can look and listen:

I´m not very familiar with the technique inside, so I look here and there for support...
Hope for fruitful discussions!

hi Rainer, welcome. Since you mentioned 4, I have to ask…who are the other three

Opus3, Sweden (my organ recordings sound better), STS, Netherlands (Fritz de With is a friend of mine) and Fonè, Italy (unreachable). Some more with Rock or Pop (what is not my profession).

I forgot: only those who copy their own recordings! Which is valid for those four.
There are a lot of others who copy foreign music from the past (like e.g. Horch House, a partner of me).

Rainer,
Thanks a lote for the kind offering.
I will do this for sure, but can take some time before I will come back to you.
The next few weeks I am abroad most the time.

I ordered a vinyl from Rainer Neuwirth as I've been impressed with all his tapes. What a surprise! I have many great recordings and am very picky about the sound, and I've found myself disappointed too many times, as a lot of records I've bought just weren't that good. That's why I now buy only from a few sources; Analogue Productions is one of them. But I found Rainer's vinyl to be very special, as it makes me feel like I'm at a live venue with real musicians playing real music. It feels surreal, like I'm being transported to Bottrop, Germany, and I've never been there. Maybe it's the art cover that makes me feel that way, but the recording itself is superb. It's not extremely quiet or detailed as my other vinyls, but it sounds just like real music should sound. I play piano and violin, BTW, and go to concerts a lot, and I found his vinyl to be very accurate to live music.

Below is a picture of the vinyl, and I highly recommend it.
