On Tuesday 03 December 2013 20:34:50 Ralf Mardorf did opine:
In Germany they still produce cassette tapes :).
Quality control is done
with Studer tape recorders and RFT monitors. Some years ago I got two
RFT monitors for less than 50,- € at Ebay :). Seen on German
television, today at 18:31 kabel eins. I suspect the Studer studio tape
recorders are un-payable and impossible to maintain, so I suspect there
will be no long future for this technology. The same factory does
produce records too :).
The cassette tapes they produce are audio dramas, they didn't mention
music.

Ralf
Studer/Revox? I spent 2 years, about 1980, keeping 3 of those spinning 14"
NAB reels running in an automation system feeding our FM station at KSUE.
Not a particularly friendly machine to work on, but sure worked nice. And
no, I wouldn't want to do it again since I don't have the manuals.
