Reading some old posts I am guessing you will have four 2 Track 15 IPS RTRs available by the beginning of 2007. Look at your write up and see if there is anything you want me to add now.Go down about half way to "2 Track 15 IPS premium quality pre-recorded Reel to Reel tapes will be making a comeback!"

The work is going well. I'm building five Seduction tape head preamps over the next couple weeks in response to the demand that has already started up before we even have any tapes ready. PJ and I have also been working up a new tape head preamp circuit for our custom machines that is showing great promise so far.Looks like our first release will be an album based closely on, but with some different takes, of Jacqui Naylor's new album (just hit th streets this week) the Color 5. I'll be heading down to San Francisco mid-month to sit in and generally be a nuisance at the all-analog recording session. We also have a classical reissue planned, and we're working toward folk and blues albums as well. There's some big band jazz being discussed and some really marvelous classical piano. Sorry to say I can't discuss the particular titles just yet.
We have been sending several Technics RS1500s to our tech for analysis of where we might add some improvements to the tape path mechanicals, and we have an order in for a prototype custom head designed to match our electronics. We're also immersed in details like packaging and reel manufacture right now.
Our timeline says we should have a website up and be ready to take deposits for subscriptions by October 1. I'm trying to stick as close to that schedule as possible. We'll see how it goes...

Don't forget to find a few folks with 2 track 15 ips decks
I'm one of those folks with a machine that plays 2-track at 15 ips. I eagerly await the announcement of titles. I will certainly support the classical works, and possibly other musical types. I enjoy jazz, folk, and "world" music. I will probably pass on rock, but if the sound quality is good enough, I would buy that too.
We will also being selling machines. That is why we have Technics RS1500s in for evaluation of modification, why we are having custom playback heads made, and why we are designing playback electronics.
Thanks for the response.
Do you have any ballpark cost for the tapes and the modified decks?
