Hi all, I guess I must be new here cuz I think this is a new list, huh? I've never had the chance to run one of those ampex 350's or other pro machines, but I've had a few ampex home machines in my day. They were sure built nice. I wish I had a couple of them back again. For open reel tape, I'm now using a pair of pioneer 7 inch reversable machines, 707 or 717 or something like that. I'll be glad to know if anyone is still seriously using open reel tape.

Well, that's a good thing! Welcome to TapeVille, buddy! We're trying to become both a discussion list and a magazine, so, if for some odd reason, tapes are in the news, then we will try to put it on here ASAP.
