Gary gets to try interesting things..... between Groove Note Records, Bernie Grundman Mastering Studio, and Audio Excellence Thailand, they get to listen to a 30ips Master tape, a track on a lacquer cut from that tape, and a track cut from a 256DSD Master of that tape!! Should be interesting if he passes or fails this test.
The sources.... from left to right and top to bottom. ATR 102 rolling at 30ips,
