They started out as an independent manufacturer of blank open reel and cassette tapes, selling mostly through their mail order catalog. I remember buying tapes from them 8 years ago when I was a freshman in college. Slowly over the years their catalog started featuring audio gadgets, tape accessories, then later close-out stereo equipement, and over time it evolved into the JS&A-like mail order house that it is today. For the record, I never was very pleased with their blank open reel tapes.... I experienced a lot of dropouts on many of the reels. But they were priced attractively, and that was the overriding concern at the time.... -- dave bauer (303)538-4482 AT&T Information Systems Laboratories, Denver ihnp4!druxv!dlb 11900 N.
