    RMGI 2500' SM 911 on eBay...sounds like a decent price, even from Latvia...

    It was from that seller I recently bought some new LPR35. Took almost a month for them to arrive. My tape purchasing days are most likely over as I continue winding down out of it. My system hasn't even been turned on in almost two weeks now. I have already dumpstered my entire blank cassette...

    Something's Gonna Happen

    I have not yet asked for nor received an endorsement to reveal any specifics. But if you go to THe other site, and look for some recent posts he made, you will find your answers.

    Something's Gonna Happen

    Jesus Christ. Some people are every bit as full of themselves as I get accused of being. I never said that "I was the only one responsible for this new development" the way two dipshits there love to spin it. Can someone....anyone...kindly point to where I made any such claim? All I said was...

    Something's Gonna Happen

    Well once again, someone stole what little element of excitement I have. Thanks Lance for spilling the beans. I'm done with all this. You think I'll get even an ounce of credit or recognition for this despite being the one that's been lobbying and pushing this-both openly and privately-for...

    Something Smells Fishy

    Then if that's the case, I offered $625 with the following message attached: "Offering ten over last legitimate known bid from when this listing last closed on 7/27. Will also pickup local to save expense and hassle of packing and shipping". -And see what he says. This would be a six hour...

    Something Smells Fishy

    Just for the record. I am not outright accusing anyone of anything dishonest or unethical. But it sure LOOKS suspicious. So am I implying a less than honest seller here? Maybe. I don't know the whole story. I can only postulate based on the available facts. And I'd like to get your thoughts...

    what are you listening to?

    A mildly amusing couple of memories associated with that mix. First, my father was the one that originally created it. I simply RE-created it when I was building my reel tape collection. I still have the original tape he made, though I haven't played it in years. Two childhood memories stand...

    I can appreciate artful shots of beautiful women without being a boorish ass about it.

    Lance Lawson

    Happy [belated] welcome Lance! And I don't think I ever got my babe! WTH? And you're in SoCal? We need to get together and put back some beers or at least lunch one of these days. Or you can take a ride up to the "beautiful" Central Valley and listen to some tunes at Casa de Des.

    what are you listening to?

    Hmmm. I'll have to track down some of that stuff. Although Fleetwood and the McVies are talented singers and musicians, the reality is that Fleetwood Mac was a nothing, struggling, obscure group till Nicks and Buckingham joined up. Those two are the ones that really made the group who they are.

    what are you listening to?

    Have you ever played a song backwards and were pleasantly surprised at the resultant chord progression to the point that it became a new song in its own right?

    A Good Day For A Scotch And A Coke

    Oh yeah. I figured you'd be happy with that tape. I love it too and have to use them very sparingly given how few of them I have and how unobtainium they are.

    A Good Day For A Scotch And A Coke

    Yeah I would not recommend going after the known SSS tapes, even if you can bake and/or NuFinish them. It just isn't worth it. Not unless you can get them at a good price just to harvest the boxes and reels. How's that Q-457 I sent you to try holding up? I've always (and still do) swear by that...

    Trying Out Some PYRAL LPR-35 Tape

    Oh it absolutely is thinner than the previous version, which of course gained some notoriety and extra free publicity following it's spectacular failure when it was just three years old. For comparison, see a picture of that infamous roll when it was still virgin, back in 2008. So far, it...

    Something's Gonna Happen

    Oh no. If this happens, this will be to the enjoyment of everyone who currently uses or intends to use reel to reel. Though I will see it as a huge personal victory if and when it does.

    Something's Gonna Happen

    Something really cool is in the works for reel to reel. And I've been asked to be a part of it. Fans of the format will be ecstatic if and when this comes to pass. If all goes according to plan, stay tuned for something really neat to come this fall. That is all I am of liberty to say at the...
