Hello,
Spurred on by the invitation to join Polk's presentation at the upcoming D..C area Capital Audiofest (July 8-10) I put the finishing touches on my web site:
www.tapepath.com. The idea is to take my hobby and turn it into a small business; refurbishing and modifying the classic Revox A77 tape recorders. I hope to see everyone at the show.
Wish me luck, Ken

    Great professional looking site. A true labor of love.

    Makes me want to dig out my old Akai M8, wiggle the tubes and crank it up.

    Nice looking site. Which service are you using for hosting? I went to the show last year and had a blast. Good luck.

    Very nice and the Best of Luck with it. Maybe when you appear at the DC show you can offer complimentary fish and chips to the visitors. If so, I know just the place to cater it (sorry folks its a bit of an inside joke). Cheers. :cool:

    Looks very nice, sir. I am a little biased, of course, A77-wise...

    Love ReVox equipment. Well designed and put together with much thought.

    I have enjoyed the B series S equipment (Tuner and Amp) for many years.

    Good Luck.

    Hey NAP, right you are! The wife and I had a nice lunch there a few weeks ago. We had been out going to a few flea markets, Essex and Pulaski Highway. I told her about the great hush puppies and fish and chips. Then we went to the Goodwill across the street and I found a '60s era electronics book for $2.50! Fun day!

    That Goodwill is now gone. I had a tear in my eye last Sunday. It was a great out of the way location that wasn't well travelled. :cool:

    Wow, for heaven's sake! That's a shame. I stood there looking at a whole bunch of classical cassette pre-recorded tapes thinking, "should I or shouldn't I?" I don't do too much cassette listening, but there were some interesting titles.
    That will teach me to waffle.
