The project was rushed and done 3 days before the show actually the sound is not break in yet ( all new parts), The boss of Tri Cell Ent (the biggest Hi End whole seller in Canada) who is friend of Ed Pong, We asked him if he like to have tape sound for their hi end amp and speaker in the show, he like the idea too so asked we let him listen first, then we move that heavy Telefunkun and tube preamp + ps to their warehouse for listening and he asked left them over for their boys to see how to work out in the show, but called next day and said that they decide not go for it because will give their hi end vinyl system a hard time and no advantage for them, well maybe we will do by ourselves in next time. so the machine back to my basement and breaking in now, the sound getting better and better, the stock sound of Telefunkun and Studer is not the same, Telefunkun got the firm image and sound stage but less emotion and detail, Studer has more detail but soft and not too firm image, after combined in this project, it created a new kind of sound got good thing from both and the face out operating give help too because the touching between head and tape I guest, all the listeners in here they all like the new sound much than the stock when I turn back to stock for showing within seconds they asked stop want back to the new one, so I think sound of R2R still has a long way to go and lot of fun in future
