Re: AXPONA Chicago April 24-26, 2015 - Who is going?
For those going to Axpona

Seminar at AXPONA 2015 Chicago
Sunday, April 26, 2015 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Open to All Attendees!


Discover the Reel Truth
MODERATOR
Myles B. Astor PhD
Senior Assistant Editor, Positive Feedback Magazine, Executive Editor, AVShowrooms.com

Audiophiles seeking the Holy Grail, the ne plus ultra of sound, need look no further than 15-ips/2-track reel-to-reel tape. These 21st century, real time duplicated, second or third generation copies, simply are as close as one can get to the original recordings. Today, more than fifteen companies in the US and abroad are now releasing both new and old recordings on reel-to-reel tape. The panel of speakers will touch on a variety of topics ranging from choosing a reel-to-reel machine, the ins-and-outs of tape machine electronics and matching the electronics to the tape heads as well covering the recording and duping end of the tape business.

As an aside, I'll also be a part of the Ask the Editors panel discussion on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 PM.

Groove Note, Fone and Opus 3 are handled by Elusive Disc. Type reel on their search engine.

Lyn Stanley's latest release  (all analog) engineered by Grammy Award winning engineer Al Schmidt is available directly from from Lyn.

I'm not sure whether or not the Patricia Barber is still available. Jonathan Horwich was duping the tapes for that release.

Dangerous Analog is brand new and we will be introducing the CEO and company at Axpona. They will also have a booth at the marketplace. Their first release will be out this month and their catalog will consist of both new recordings and reissues.

Besides obviously TTP's releases, highly recommend Yarlung, Lutz Precision, Opus 3 and Groove Note!

We've come a long way in just the last three years! When Dan was a member of our first panel at Axpona, there was but a handful of companies releasing 15 ips tapes. That number has tripled since then due to the demand from more and more people buying decks and especially the work of Greg Beron who has carried out a scorched earth policy of trying to get every company on earth to release in the tape format. Not to mention the people buying Greg's UHA decks.

Very cool Myles!
I guess I knew most of those but when you see them in a list, it looks impressive!

Have fun in Chicago (one of my fav towns)!
I wish I was going but I'm lucky to have the time to check this forum right now.
