Re: Emory Cook 1957 2-track open reel prerecorded tapes

Hi Rich,
The Emory Cook tapes were meant to be heard on headphones(binaural). Check them out with some good 'cans' and see what you think. Emory was an early 'audio casualty', to use Ken Kessler's term. He was based in Stamford, Connecticut and he started doing binaural recordings in the early 50s. He used a special compound for his LP records that was truly awful- super noisy. I remember some cool looking mulitcolored discs. Mostly steel band, semi-amateur classical and other oddball material.
He also designed a sweet looking Hifi amp for Langevin in the late 50s that used 4 6550 in class a(?) for 50 watts mono ouput. Have you ever seen one? They were called Cook-Langevin.
Are you going to Randall Museum this weekend? Perhaps we can finally meet up?

Regards,
Rich
