Quantegy update

[microx]

Just had this E-mail

Hello Steve,

Quantegy is in limited production of Audio items, including 456, during its Chapter 11 Restructuring. We expect to have new ownership within the next 30 days and will return to full production at that time.

It is most certain 456 will be available for many years to come.

Thank you for your interest in Quantegy products.

Regards,
Mark Johnston
Fulfillment Manager
Quantegy Inc

Fingers crossed,
Steve

Even better news at prosoundnews:

"New York, NY (February 25, 2005)--In the midst of an analog tape crisis brought on by the announcement that Quantegy shut down operations last month, pending Chapter 11 restructuring, two new tape manufacturers have emerged. York, PA-based ATR Magnetics, a new division of ATR Services, and The Netherlands' RMG International, the latter acquiring production and formulation patents from EMTEC, are just months away from distribution. Meanwhile, a very promising report from Quantegy assures that the Opelika, AL-based company is on its way back."

So after no tape manufacturer we will have three. :grin:

For the moment I would be happy with a deParavicini modified Ampex ATR100 for mastering. :grin:

Ever owned one of these? Ive had 4 of them. Incredible sounding but one of the most unreliable pieces of equipment ever built. Steer clear.
