Re: best available reel to reel tape? Anyone selling?

Ampex's tape manf arm became Quantegy.

Quantegy was the last analog ferrous oxide recording tape manufacturer in the world when they shut down a few years back, if I remember correctly. they are the ones that were planning the yearly limited-runs on 2" tape, etc.


Go here:

A reel of 1" tape now runs $425. Ow.
