| I heard rumors that Quantegy was going under again -- a local store said that the supply was once again limited -- although I couldn't confirm this anywhere. Weird how that kind of stuff gets started. |

yikes...such an obvious solution going to quantegy.com!
duh. sorry.
I guess I didn't even think they were in the game anymore and that someone else would be taking their niche'.
If I can keep getting the 456 from QUantegy..well, that's a good thing.
Thanks for the info and patience.

| Oh I am so dying to get ahold of a reel of the new ATR stuff. I don't even know what I am going to do with it yet. I mean, I know I'm going to make music on it. I just haven't figured out what and how. And I'm not sure I care. |

Just before Quantigy closed last year, we got 3 cases of tape (from diffrent batches) that WOULD NOT bias-up correctly. High end was all over the place, low end sounded like sand paper. You could see "birds eyes" all over the tape. When the suppler would not tape the crappy tape back, I went to Quantagy with frequency/level sweeps from an audio precision, the reply...."its normal to have 3dB of error" 
The new production of quantigy (GP9 on the silver reels, 456) seems to be as great as the old stuff. Ive never had a problem since, however, Im stoked to get some new tape formulas! |
