Chasing The Dragon – Test LP Various Artists SKU: VAL007 Barcode: VAL007 42.00 £42.00 Genre: Classical Label: Chasing The Dragon Released Date: 16th May 2015 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Recording engineer Mike Valentine produced and recorded an old-fashioned audiophile demo disc using 50-year-old Neumann tube microphones and a high resolution Nagra digital recorder all connected together with ZenSati cables from Denmark. Many tracks use the “Decca tree” configuration, invented by engineers in the early 1950’s using 3 Neumann M50 microphones. Some tracks were recorded with a 1/2″ Studer reel to reel recorder running at 30ips. This audiophile disc was used as a reference by Michael Fremer of Analog Planet in testing various record mats. The album contains selections from composers and musicians that include Vivaldi, Mozart, Ellington, Rachmaninoff, Verdi, and more! “Throughout, Valentine’s obvious goal was to produce maximum natural spaciousness while preserving instrumental timbres as all as instrumental focus. The results are uniformly engaging, three-dimensional and natural, though slightly on the warm, dark side, which is how many sound aficionados prefer it.” — Music = 7/11; Sound = 8/11 — Michael Fremer, AnalogPlanet.com Artist Various Artists Genre Classical Label Chasing The Dragon Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Side One: Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) 1.
