Quantegy Update - GOOD News!

According to USRECORDINGMEDIA.COM

TAPE BUYERS::::NOTICE--------NOTICE------------NOTICE----------NOTICE-----------NOTICE
UPDATE Feb 18, 2005: The tape is rolling in and we're painfully and slowly starting to fill our shelves. (We even have 1/4" GP9 and 457 on reels now.) Quantegy has re-instated full audio production again. Also, there definitely will be new studio quality open reel audio tape made here in Pennsylvania with the first tape being available probably in late May 2005 if not sooner. As soon as we have this tape available to you, it'll be posted on this web site. They're going to be making very good tape for almost everyone in the studio through broadcast, government, and even the home recordist. We feel everything from the new tape boxes through the sound and slitting of the tape is going to have a "classic" touch to it.

...there's a certain irony in the posting of a notice of tape availability in a tapeless recording forum!

Good to know that they are back at it. Tape does not deserve to die. I miss the days of cleaning and aligning and getting the take right before you wore all the oxide off the backing. Good times, good times. And the unreplicatable fatness of saturated tape. sigh...
