R2R at RMAF 2008

Anyone interested in hearing Master Tapes (2 track, 15 ips, 1/4") at RMAF 2008 ?

If you haven't heard Master Tapes before, then you are for a real treat. They combine the best of vinyl (immediacy & dynamics, remarkable bass definition) with the low noise background of digital, without any of the high frequency etchiness of the latter. The vocals are very palpable and have a reach out & touch type sondstage. the harmonic texture can be remarkable given the right recording.

We will have a Tim De Pavaracini custom modified Technics RS-1520 reel to reel as well as a Sonorus custom modified reVox PR99 mk III reel to reel on hand to playback two track master tapes @ 15 ips.We will be playing selections from the recent Tape Project tapes (Sonny Rollins, Bill Evans...) as well as Quinton's catalogue, such as the Sabina Hank.

Groove Note's 'Best of Jacintha" is simply outstanding. All of her albums were all recorded by Mike Ross in Hollywood, mastered by Bernie Grundman and produced by Joe Harley. The albums were recorded simultaneously in DSD and Analogue.

We will also have Analogue Productions' Thorens 125 'th Anniversary on tape, kindly duped by Kevin Gray at RTI; thanks Chad ! The Hugh Masakela "Coal Train to Namibia" has to be heard to be believed - unbelievably dynamic. The Rickie Lee Jones cuts are also superb.

We will be located in the same room as previous years: Long's Peak on the Mezzanine level of the Denver Marriott Tech Center.
