Hi Mike,Thanks for going these lengths to find this out. It will be very interesting to see Puresound's reply. Did Fat Cat discontinue their Dyna snare wires, do you know?/Magnus
Magnus,
WE GOT OUR DEFINITIVE, AUTHORITIVE ANSWER! George Santos, Customer Service Specialist for PureSound just sent me this reply:
"Hello, we discontinued the vintage line a few years back and then brought back the 5 most popular sku's. The PD1416 being one of the ones we brought back. It's on our site.

So there you have it. They have been brought back, but I don't think they're being produced in large quantities, as my local percussion shop and G.C. admitted that they still can't get them. Hope this helped.
