A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck?

cleeds -

Yes I see that.  But you and I know that product launches are often delayed.  Being a Stereophile related link (Analog Planet), I figured there must be some credibility to the source.  Still waiting, and wondering if anyone else had heard of anything.
It does seem possible though, and Reel to Reel is now being used quite regularly at CES for some of the finest systems.

larryi,

There is actually quite a bit now being offered.  United Home Audio has a page with links to many selling quality master copies.  A Google search will show you even more.  I believe this is just going to grow as it has with LP production and turntable production over the last 15 years or so. That and there are now several companies reconditioning quality machines to like new condition.

Makes me smile.

Norman,
Let's hope you are right about the comeback of tape.
I think, besides other things, that people just got tired of digital and of computers in general, they want something more authentic.

If you haven't had a look at this you should,

So he wants $5k for a refurbished Technics. If you are patient you could find Studer 810 for $4k, add $2-$3k to make it perfect. And Otari would be much less expensive. I would see no reason to get anything other than these two within this price range.
