Grew up in charlotte. Moved to Houston in 1979. Have never been back. It is now 2024. I have been told charlotte has changed so much. That I could not find my way around today.
Moore Richard Jones Paul Miller Daniel
5:23 might be *the* most interesting aspect of audio for me personally
Lopez Brian Martin Brenda Lewis Angela
My old working class neighborhood is now rich people and homeless.
CAN LISTEN TO THIS GUY TALK ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT. THANKS FOR THE UP
Charlotte native. The city changed dramatically....hardly recognizable. Definitely bittersweet. Well presented. Thanks for the nemories.
The only thing missing are latex gloves on the workers, they are getting fingerprints on all those jackets.
It's probably only me but does anyone else find it funny he has q tips prominently on his desk LOL
and Tom Dowd was doing multitrack WITHOUT degredation of the sound by the late '50s.
great idea except some people (like me) have already done this. I am glad he's doing this, but there is a real arrogance to his assuming he's the only one.
How much is the avage wage, Too print jackets?
Charlotte was fun and safe back in the 70's and 80's..now days u gotta watch your surroundings.
I find it a bit strange that the aim is to sound like old recordings. Why not try to get closer to a real live character?
Great
If you want to see what Charlotte was like 40 years ago head to Greenville, South Carolina. It was a great little city that has now become bloated and too big. Great documentary that brought back good memories.
Hi Ben. I loved this. (Bonnie)
Was a Charlotte Police Officer in the 70s. At Freedom Park when Ford there. Time moves on but kinda sad. Thx!
No mention of Discovery Place or Spirit Square?
What speakers is Bernie using?
So it isn't a remaster but only repressing?
Thank you for this
Kevin and Bernie G are absolute masters of their craft.
🙏❤️🕊️
this man is close to walk over water
Optical storage mediums are superior to vinyl, though tube amplifers can be better. This was a good interview.
NERD ALERT ! 🤓
The mighty STUDER C37 proudly mad in Regensdorf / Switzerland. Best known for the recording of Abbey Road by The Beatles. Nothing sounds like a tape machine form STUDER professional audio.
I bought this record way back in 78 as one of my 13 first record order form Columbia House, as a kid, in like fifth grade. You got the offer in TV Guide and we kids would order all these records of the day. They would eventually send you another record in a month that I think was a marked up price, so you had to cancel or send it back. needless to say, Mom and Dad were NOT happy when they ended up getting the bills. I held onto AJA for years. I'll be buying this copy for certain. Masterpiece.
I love this video because I love music and music is my life dj Paul from together fm Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If purity vinyl is so pure why do i have a kind of blue that is beyond noisy
Walter really liked those German speakers.
Jeeeeez 😮
Lots of disturbing treble distortion on that album. Regardless of whether it stems from transient intermodulation or just clipping, it's not very nice listen to.
I think as aja as the gold standard for mastering. It’s just so good
Hello my fellow music lovers and hi-fi enthusiasts. What Mr. Grundman said about hi-fi speakers and amplifiers was revelatory! Especially when he said amplifiers with 20 or more output transistors, you are hearing electrics and not music! He also said hi-fi home speakers sound better than studio monitors and the less circuitry the better the sound. Being a hi-fi music enthusiast this is the epitome of high end audio to me. No bass and treble controls, equalizers, compression and other signal processing (so much for recievers and mid-fi).I agree with everything he said, but I wonder how those who have massive amplifiers that have 20 or more output transistors feel about what he said about those amps! This is just mind blowing to this 64 year old black man O.G music collector and hi-fi enthusiast. I would like to see as many opinions and thoughts about this as possible. This I believe has already rocked the professional and consumer audio worlds!
Back in the early 80s, at a major studio where I worked, Aja was a favorite listening test for new monitors, amps, control room acoustic tweaks
Could you please explain what brand of speakers you use and what Fagan and Walter used and also the brand of cartridge? Oh, really like to hear more about the specific year use
Listened to the album yesterday! WOW. Incredible quality
When you let Bernie master any of tracks you'll end up with a MUSICAL PUZZLE 🎼 🎶!!! HE'S THE MAN
Cool!! So understated with his words..
Fantastic.
Where is the remastering?
Citizen Steely Dan box set already sounds stunning not sure how much better you could do it really. Once it’s been done well it seems these are cash grabs by people with the rights that pay to remaster it.
His description about why you should use amplifiers with the least of amount of electronics is similar to the same reason why the PCR test was a joke for covid
Great interview. What are the Qtips for? 😂 Also seconded on request for a Grundman gear overview
The reason vinal sounds different than digital to me is vinal flexes, it ages, digital is too electronic. I liked records because every time I played them they sound slightly different.
I think the reason it sounds great on a shit system or Magnaplayners is the spread of harmonic range. This is also the reason I detest grunge and punk. Everything is in one dynamic and harmonic range. You must place the notes carefully like a chef places carrots on a fine dish😂
Fascinating! Thanks for the post and the insights.
The original was near pristine. Remastering isnt needed
