A video of the session will soon be available on the Axpona YouTube site. Paul was really awesome and the audience really enjoyed hearing about his experiences in both the recording and playback end.
Of course the highlight of the session was Chad announcing he'll soon be releasing music in the R2R format. Axpona attendees were treated to four 30 ips, 1/2 inch sampler tapes from Analogue Productions in the Joseph Audio room. All that heard them were pretty blown away. I didn't hear all of the samplers but some of the highlights were Dean Martin, Getz/Gilberto, Ray Charles, Muddy Waters, Kenny Burrell and especially Dusty's The Look of Love.
Chris also mentioned that he'll be releasing an audiophile version of the MCI decks later this year. One really interesting tidbit from Chris was how the ratio of professional/consumer business has shifted over the last five years changed from 80/20 to 20/80. (I think that Dan Labrie of ATR Services is also seeing the same shift in business; in fact, five years ago, it was rare for him to sell a machine to an audiophile. Not so today!) Chris also mentioned in passing that several other companies involved in refurbishing and repairing pro decks are also becoming interested in the audiophile market.
Listens2tubes:
