Any Reel guys interested in a tape swap?

Nice try LOL if things go sideways we NEED someone a little less Texan "RedNeck" then me :) my patience is not what it use to be after raseing four kids.
Shall we say I was not the best "diplomat" when my new AGFA 7" tape was never returned from the person that was in front of me in the list.

Seems I'll be stuffing a reel of Concertape directly into the mailer then. Lost? No worries!

I wanted a good sounding tape back then just had my late Dad's Revox completely refubrised not just re cap tape pathway.

I have upgraded my my pre/amp,TT and cart from 2015, my last tape swap. Will mail this one from a Maxell UD 35-90.

My Concertape reference was of course tounge-in-cheek; I too want to provide the best experience possible. Your effort is commendable, the lack of respect for the swap process from others not so much.

I have a Capture 930 reel targeted for the trip.

I hear the definitive scope for this round to be 7" reel, 7.5 I.P.S., 4 track assumed.

Can see who is in and commit to a start date?

I am in if someone will manage the list 7" reel. 7.5 I.P.S. 4 track mixed or what ever. In the past the "manager" looked at a map and picked members so I did not send to N.Y. and N.Y. did not send to California I live in Texas. Etc
 
You should make a list of what everyone has to swap and then we can swap as we like. Or swap CD's of our tapes if we don't want to swap actual tape.

I got a nice collection of live and airchecks jazz and swing from the 40's. Count Bassie, Dorsey, etc. I don't want to swap tapes, but I'd swap CD's of tape for CD's of someone else's tape.
 
Pass on swapping CD I prefer the sound of analog I record from my TT ,YMMV jus sayin.... if someone will step up to manage a tape swap PM me.
 
You got any live 1940s jazz or swing tapes to trade LAB? Even 1950s jazz. I will consider apples for apples trades. If not it is CD's for trade.
 
Not really into the older jazz as most of my jazz is MOFI LP's like Miles Davis etc . More into newer Blues and classic R&R most of my music collection is LP's. If I REALLY like a album I look for MOFI LP's or QRP 45 RPM 200 gram LP. Then record to my R2R.. The majority of my CD's are 60/70/80's classic R&R I collected back in the day. Thanks for the offer weegee just retired and back into analog again. I do have some older jazz but those LP's and R2R were my Dad's not for sale/trade.
 
LAB and I were part of the past tape swaps, as he said most went well and that ONE swap was a nightmare. You MUST commit to listening and mailing the tape to the next person within 2 weeks, you also cannot mail via Media Mail, takes too long. Depending on how many on the list you need to commit to the expense also. I have zero desire in being the point man but will participate if a swap happens, I live in WA state.

7" reels at 7.5ips 4track......I could careless about CDs, no offense.

I am will willing to participate in this next round but someone else will have to run it. So far we have Safebet, Catcher 10 and Me LAB3. Anyone else ???

My interest is to program analog musical selections within the 1/4" 7.5 i.p.s. 4 track format. I will do so and as well look forward to listening to choices made by others' within that simple constraint.

You can create a tape with whatever music you like or want to share. I always create a tape from my records, no digital dubs but that is me. I'm just into good music.
 
Catcher I remember your tapes always had the best sounding music on them. Looking froward to a new recording.

Waiting on a volunteer to step up and organize this round like Mkhul did several times.

At what point do you lock in the group of people participating so that someone can step up to coordinate?
