Well, lots of new stuff happening around here. I got sucked back into 'the world™' and all that goes along with it... For a spell. New hobbies/addictions in audio: my new drug of choice is 15ips 2 track Tape, Studer tape machines, an old CBC radio workhorse, open baffle speakers, a brief , ugly foray into computer based digital sounds..
Move been using headphones a good bit now with the arrival of my new son, 18 months old and drawn to hot tubes , open reel tapes, records, and fabergé eggs even, like a moth to flame.
I had a custom otl tube headphone amp built and so that's been fun.
The open reel tapes are truly psychedelic, there's a presence that you just don't get from other formats... I can only liken it to being at the recording session and monitoring the mix on 'phones...
Crazy. I now have a garage full of drivers, tape machines, tubes, transformers, tonearms, and amps of all stripes. I went and got a van, so I'm sure I'll have more stuff this summer...
I'm going to start working on the projects more this year. Smoking more cigars, and building more amps.
I'll be sure to add pics when I get home, 2015: cannot add pics to blog with iPhone.
