I think DAK has been around at least 10 years.  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....
