We're getting close. I now have a pre-production reel and roll in hand for evaluation at the behest of ATR. Expect a sneak peek and review in the next day or two.
USRecording now has it on their site as "Coming soon".
Good to hear you are going to be able to get the pre-production reel for evaluation, Matt. Will ATR be using your findings for possible improvements to the tape, if needed?
They sent me a prototype sample a couple of months ago. I gave it a thorough go over and reported my findings back, both good and bad. This roll I have is an actual piece, in box and on reel-labelled and all. I will be testing it today. I will then see if anything changed from last time.
