    1/4" ATR MasterTape is here

    Not that I'm gonna be buying any at $55 per reel. US Recording Media has it. In stock, so says the website. I could swear that the price I saw on the USR website earlier today was even higher, like over $60, and they had the usual USR blather about "Standard price," "Special USR price," (in...

    Criteria Studios turns 50!

    Posted in this forum because they were founded in the days when digital did not even exist, and made some of my generation's biggest recordings back in the 1960's and 1970's. There is a story in the Miami Herald about it. Here is the link: http://www.miamiherald.com/277/story/361166.html...

    3M 996 Shed issue, revisited w/photo

    Several months ago, I had posted a thread about what appeared to be like sticky shed I was having with a box of 996 pancakes that I bought. I had noted that there was mostly white crud and long, thread-like strings. Not the usual brown gunk. Have been very busy and haven't had time to mess...

    Is this a sign of sticky shed on 3M 996?

    Cartridge align jig for Revox linear t-table

    Need to put a new cartridge in my Revox B791 Linatrack turntable, but don't have the Cartridge Alignment Kit. The only piece of the kit I really need is the plastic alignment jig that snaps on the tonearm (more accurately speaking, the tiny stub of a tone arm) and has alignment marks so you can...

    Is this safe as hold-down tape?

    Was in a pinch for hold-down tape, looking frantically around, but none anywhere in the house. Ventured into a room that I'm remodeling and eyes fell upon a pile of rolls of 3M "Painter's tape." The blue stuff that is not supposed to ruin painted surfaces and comes off clean. Ah Hah! Figured...
