    Master Tapes - Genuine or Fake

    Thanks! I don't have master tapes to compare with my digital recordings, but I'm very happy with the sound. I have a Studer A80 RCMKII, 1/2”, HS and I switched from the original cards to Jeff and Charles' NextGen. The sound is incredible!

    New Repro cards!

    I am a happy owner of NextGen record+repro cards. I cannot praise them enough. I have been recording on tape since the 60's and for the last ten years from digital files. If you've never tried recording your own tapes, you should. You will not regret.

    Why do I hate jazz ??

    Music is rhythm/swing, melody and harmony. The rhythm/swing is intuitive, you want to dance, move your body. The melody is intuitive, you want to sing, whistle. Harmony, different sounds played together, is not intuitive. Jazz is a harmonic structure played with all notes available as...

    Do Mobile Fidelity Vinyl Re-issues Have a Digital Step in the Process?

    Sound is about what you hear, not what you read. To stop liking the sound of a vinyl after the MoFi confession doesn't make sense to me.

    Do Mobile Fidelity Vinyl Re-issues Have a Digital Step in the Process?

    I think the main reason to be upset is not being able to tell the difference between an AAA and an ADA without a confession.

    If tape is so good why does it record so poorly?

    If you have a recorder, testing is very easy. Record on tape and compare. If you prefer tape, that's fine, if you prefer the digital file, that's fine too. You'll never know until you hear both sounds.

    If tape is so good why does it record so poorly?

    For the last 40 years LPs have been cut from digital masters. Sound is about what you hear, it’s not about what you read.

    If tape is so good why does it record so poorly?

    That’s not my experience. I’ve been recording on tape since the 60’s. It’s not about better than the source, it’s about what do you prefer, direct from CD or from a tape recorded from the CD (or streaming). I prefer from tape. In my experience it depends on the saturation on tape. I know a few...

    If tape is so good why does it record so poorly?

    there is only one reason to go to the tape: listen and fall in love. I prefer tape to vinyl and digital. but I sure have a bias. I prefer tape since the 60's.

    Center Stage2 White Paper for Owners and Potential Owners

    Ok, the mechanical behaviour of the system will be affected. Anyway after the settling period the feet could be removed and reinstalled since S(n)>S(n-1), the disorder never diminishes.

    Center Stage2 White Paper for Owners and Potential Owners

    "Third, they transfer entropy out of the component. The transfer of disorder out of a component is rooted in the 2nd Law of Thermodynamic" Since the 2nd law is: delta S > 0, can we remove the CS2 after awhile?
