[ARSCLIST] Fwd: [AMPEX] Sonnobands?
Graham Newton is no longer on the ARSC list, but would like to pick

Please reply to Graham (and the list if you think it's useful to others--I
would like to hear the answer).
Cheers,

recording format which I have never heard of.
If you can help this person, please respond to him directly.
