Anyone ever hear NTT Audio Lab speakers
The maker of NTT products, Mr. Lee, is an ex Ford Aerospace software engineer who is just fanatical about doing things just "thus and so".Mr Lee built some amp stands for me.... given the care he lavished into those, I can but imagine what he puts... 
Were any of you taping concerts circa 1972-88?
YesBut many of our recordings were of that era where tape binders were hydoscopic. TDK Audia and Scotch professional were just awful in that regard. Once the deed was done my big TASCAM didn't have the horsepower to drag that tape across the heads...
