TGR - I just joined the Tape Project prior to the Series II titles being announced. I too am disappointed in some of the selections, in particular the 1970s funk tape. That said, I am sure that each of us will like some and dislike others. They can't please us all.

In addition to the Tape Project, I have learned that a Canadian firm is pursuing a similar effort with stronger audio potential (according to them), that may be launched in the near term.

Also, there is an Australian company that is publishing newer recording on R2R in high audio quality. The link is below.

From the Quinton web site: "In cooperation with AAA Audio Analogue Association in Germany, Quinton is licensing out premium quality studio master tapes featuring the famous pure sound of Quinton. To achieve the BEST STUDIO MASTER SOUND, these tapes are copied by the AAA Germany in real time onto Studer and Telefunken 1/4" machines exclusively."

There might be more out there, and if anybody know of other new R2R software sources, please let us know.

Question: which do you think is more important (if you had to choose): spending more $s on a refurbished transport/deck or spending $s on a new outboard repro amp (ie Bottlehead or Aria)?

Thanks, Pat
