Hi Bruce
Where would you like 'em? As I wrote in my note to Steve, the sound takes on a certain elegance that you hear more in DSD than PCM. If you are around Newport, please do stop by for a listen in room 322 at the Hilton.

There are no native DSD2x files for this album. To clarify, for the LP mastering, I upsampled from the 176.4K PCM to DSD2x. I would not offer the same as digital files as you can do that yourself with AudioGate. However, with vinyl, this is something completely different and fresh. Obviously, the only way to know that is to hear it for yourself...
Thanks!

My Apologies for the site issues. It might sound strange, but first of all, we will be offering the records at Newport and to those that inquire via the MA site up to about June 12th. As I will be doing shows in Asia for part of the summer, after which I will be in Japan for work there, I will only be able to get things moving for real on the site from Mid August!
In any case, for those that are sure they are interested, we will do what we can!
Please feel free to write via the MA site and visit us in room 322 at THE SHOW NEWPORT!

The power cords are optimized to interface 115V and 60Hz. 50Hz would be different, and when I used a PS Audio Power Plant to regenerate 230V 50Hz to try and optimize an export version, I couldn't make them sound right. I don't know if it's because of my design or it's the regenerator.
Thanks, Mike. I think that our mutual friend has almost as many.
Hi Guys!
I need to thank Gary for putting this info up on the site. I did not mention in the Press Release that I used Gary's power cable, but I DID USE IT and would not leave home without it....... unless I was working with batteries..... In any case, thanks Gary, on numerous levels!

. This long time favorite of MA fans, was recorded 15 YEARS AGO(!) at 176.4 kHz in a small church in the countryside of Argentina. We up-sampled the 176.4K files to 5.6 MHz double DSD and took them to Len Horowitz, a cutting engineer veteran of 41 years who is well known for his legendary 1950 Scully cutting lathe and Westrex cutting head. Len “sculpted” the lacquers on his Scully, directly from our modified KORG MR2000s, after which they were immediately flown to Desmond Narraine for Metal finishing at Mastercraft in NJ. Desmond, who started at Decca over 40 years ago, worked his magic and sent his stampers of perfection to Bill Smith Custom Records in LA who is pressing the 180gm disc just in time for THE SHOW NEWPORT!!

Besides LA SEGUNDA, Len Horowitz also cut an incredible 12 inch 45 rpm single (for 180gm release) of some of the best tracks from the first Sera una Noche album. Numerous audiophile luminaries auditioned test pressings at the recent show in Munich and all expressed great interest in acquiring multiple copies!! You can get yours, literally hot off the presses, directly from MA Recordings in room 322 at the HILTON!!

last time i bought one they were $1800 list price for 1.5 meter length. more for longer lengths. there are three different types of cords depending on your use; one for tt or RTR motors, one for high power amplifiers, and one for sources and preamps.

Gary, what is the "essence" (sweet sauce) behind those power cords?
You have some more details, with measurements, pictures, specs, texts, reviews, prices, etc.?

Todd, nice to see you posting here; I'm a "pure" fan of your recording techniques. :b
...Nagra equipment is still part of your world?
Dear Northstar,
Thanks for your nice comments. I have never used Nagra gear, can't afford it....
I have often used something modified. such as consumer oriented gear (Pioneer D07-A DAT) or got my hands on a DCS AD converter, etc....... That was before they got involved in the HI End. Now that is all DCS does....

Hi Bob, no secret sauce. Even the ingredients are listed on my website.

The power cords are very simple - no power conditioning, filtering, etc. I assume that all that is already done elsewhere. What the power cords do is attempt to correctly interface from the power outlet to the power inlet of the equipment.
Yes, after I posted I saw Mike's link. ...And now you added another similar link, thanks Gary, that's all I ever wanted. :b
