Gary, I'm just now catching up with this thread: Congratulations on the above 'Positive Feedback' award from the Pacific Audio Fest, and for your new products. Any chance you will be in BKK for an audio show with these new products, the tone arm and the cartridge?

Unfortunately, not the tonearm, but we should have the new cartridge. I do believe that Audio Excellence has a sample. If not, I will put mine into my hand-carry luggage.

Dee Dee's Feathers/ Big Band on Tidal.

Many thanks Greg. I didn't realize that Dee Dee Bridgewater did a big band album. Ordered, and on the way!!

 

[Gregadd]

Whew! What do you get for the man who has everything? I like that it has that New Orleans Dixieland flavor with banjo. She also has a classic RB Memphis Blues. On a personal note ,God rest her soul, somewhere we have a similar picture of my elder sister Jacqueline in that same outfit.

Can't wait for my album to come!

Gary, what would do if got some Jazz legends in the studio to record a track and they could not agree on what version to record? the answer : record them all. i wish i could hear it on the big Genesis.

Come around to the Pacific Audiofest June 23-25. We will not only have the big Genesis on demo, I will bring the Paul Sawtelle Big Band back for Friday night, AND we are going to have a R&B Big Band on Saturday night!!!

The trip to Seattle is a major airplane ride for me. Just maybe a tour to hear the Gryphon ad the Genesis. I heard the IRS in the eighties.

Tape Talk by Ki @ Pacific Audio Fest

Cascade 9,
Saturday 30th July, 12 noon

With the great interest in music on reel-to-reel tape among audiophiles, we help de-mystify the technology with tape enthusiast Ki Choi.

A long time enthusiast, Ki was refurbishing and rebuilding tape machines before tape became popular again. At one time he had over 120 machines in perfect working condition in his home (to the chagrin of his wife).

In 2015, Ki built a reproduction studio and made one of the first modern commercially available 100% analog tape titles - Bach Goldberg Variations by Ito Ema on the MA Recordings label. The limited run was sold out before it could even be offered to the public!

In this session, Ki will talk about the challenges of making tape copies. As part of the session, we will demonstrate the transparency of tape copies.

Two identically set-up Studer A810's will be used in this demo. One will be set at 30ips and will play a master tape direct from Bernie Grundman Mastering Studios. The second A810 will be set at 15ips and will play a reproduction of that master tape.
