Well ya I did. But really it's a shame to see companies becoming shadows of their former selves or worse, completely disappearing. I had a stack of Nak gear years back, PA-7 stasis amp CA pre and ST tuner. Nice gear. Wish I never got rid of it.

Peace

You sent a blue label back. LMBO The test one had no printing. LOL Just keep it till you send me something else.

Huh... did you check the recordings on it? The cassette box was marked TDK Test Tape with white lettering. Isn't that what I sent you?

On page 6 of this thread, the picture of the TDK Test Tape and the whole recording session with this tape clearly shows the shell is marked as a Phoenix Chrome would be.

Wow, I myself can't even remember what it looked like. But I know I only have 1 phoenix tape and it's still sealed. Are we certain it didn't get put in a phoenix shell?

What a drag it is getting old....

Larry: What's even funnier is your recording, the first one done on this test tape, should be there half-way through Side A. Explain that.

Is Carol-Anne in peril again?

(It's October again)

Does that trick work for LCD screens?

Ummm I'm pretty sure side A was a Zepplin concert, which I thought I recorded over completely. B was acoustic, and I think I left that last half of B alone :?:

Hi Joe,

Until Larry can confirm the tape I sent to him was indeed the "TDK Test Tape", whether a Phoenix Blue was mistakenly used right from the get-go, this is what I recall:

Side A (cassette shell screw side) has the first half, or so of the cassette with music recorded of your jazz (Ray Brown) without Dolby B NR. Then the last half, shy of five minutes, or so, has Larry's acoustic recording, followed by two Lindsey Buckingham tracks I recorded overtop of Larry's recording.

Side B has the entire side of your recording of Ray Brown with Dolby B NR, shy of the last six minutes, or so. I recorded two tracks overtop yours Joe, with my Pioneer CT-F9191. The songs are from: Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe and Headpins.

I take great care when I'm entrusted with someone else's belongings to return it, properly. But, because Larry hasn't responded to whether this tape is indeed the "TDK Test Tape" that was initially circulated, I don't know what to think.

Nando.

It is no big deal. There is Jazz on this tape. I'm not losing sleep over this. Really I'm not excited over it. Lets just forget it.

OK, thank you Larry. I can't speak for Joe, but for me it is a big deal, especially when you comment in this forum, publicly, that I mistakenly sent a Phoenix Blue back to you. It's not an LOL matter, when you are experiencing it from my perspective. I thought I had done something wrong.

I apologize Nando. I didn't think it was a big deal.

What bothers me is I can't remember what it looked like exactly, other then it came in a funky snap case and it was black. My memory has been horrible so that's troubling for me personally. However, I only have 23 tapes in my possession , 9 sealed, and they are all accounted for. Larry was kind to send me a phoenix blue, which is still here sealed. So Nando if what you opened was a Pheonix tape that I sent you, with Noisey Ray Brown on it, then I would have to conclude that it was that tape from the beginning. Being new here the last thing I want to do is give out my personal address and make waves.

:(

Sorry guys.
