Hi Ed
OK, now my mind is blown! This morning I put on the Bach Cello tape and overnight everything had changed. The power supply transformers must have awakened. Before everything was slightly compressed, but now it has bloomed into a range of infinite dynamics.The mist is gone. There is a real flesh and blood cello in my room growling and groaning and creaking. But it is more than a cello. It is bigger than life. It is like a cello heard through an electron microscope or listened to on acid. When he bounces the bow on the strings the cello expands like a drum head. This is the best recording of any kind I have ever heard. It surpasses everything.
Ed, what you have accomplished is completely unique. There is nobody in the world doing what you are doing. This takes master tape to a whole new level. Listening to safety masters of the Beatles or Stones is one thing but making recordings with equipment like yours is a whole new paradigm. It brings a level of sound into the listeners home that otherwise could never be obtained. I will probably want to collect your whole catalogue over a period of time.
