Audiophile Reel to Reel Tape

It was in Absolute Sound, not sure of the issue though. However, this list is something I came across and which I think you will find useful:

If you want to acquire some recordings at a fraction of the cost that some of these companies are charging then check out International Phonograph, Inc. (they are on the list). You can get on their email list as well. I own quite a few of Jonathan's recordings and while the music is not performed by well known artists (with a couple exceptions), the recording quality is very good.

@fuzztone, do you use the electronics in your Otari for playback? I started off that way but converted an Otari to take the signal direct off the tape head and I have a few dedicated tape preamps that I run that signal through. Quite a difference. I also have a Stellavox SP7 with multiple head blocks, with one that takes the signal direct from the tape head. I don't think I would playback tape any other way at this point.
