Somebody here recommended Tape Op, Issue 54, or at least I think it was on this list. That's a great magazine and this issue is particularly good. The stories on Marc Aubort, George Massenburg and John Stephens are interesting stuff. I'm looking for a Stephens tape deck now (I've got a sickness for equipment that's only exceeded by my sickness for black shiny round things). Phillip
Folks,
Tape Op is terrific--and for US subscribers, it's free!

The Stevens article, which is part of their "Behind the Gear" section, is a trip.
I've written them a couple of times to peak their interest in doing something on audio restoration and old audio formats...perhaps if it were more than just me we'd get somewhere.
Best,
andy
