Visiting the 🇺🇸 US so managed to pick up a copy of this incredible album on 1/4” x 10.5” reproduced by the folks at the Tape Project .. get home in a week to hear it ! #vinyl #music #audio #audiophile #hifi #records #lp  #instamusic #turntable #hi-fi #nowspinning #Qobuz #HifiPig #vinylporn #Amphion #Auralic #Arcam #Fyneaudio #Technics #TitanAudio #Meze #Headphones #vincent #gikacoustics #Hegel #vinylcollectionpost #reel2reel #Tascam
I’ve been after an open reel / reel2reel tape for some time - as much for the aesthetic drama of how the look as how incredible they can sound ( unbeaten if done correctly) - this one needs a bit of TLC so will be a project for next few weeks ( a week of cleaning and tweaking already) - can’t wait to hear it when fully back to life #vinyl #music #audio #audiophile #hifi #records #lp  #instamusic #turntable #hi-fi #nowspinning #Qobuz #HifiPig #vinylporn #Amphion #Auralic #Arcam #Fyneaudio #Technics #TitanAudio #Meze #Headphones #vincent #gikacoustics #Hegel #vinylcollectionpost #reel2reel #Tascam

Latest beautiful @gikacoustics Art Panel made and sent super fast in time for the festive season - Thelonius Monk to partner with my other one of Charlie Parker , Miles Davis et al - and their Impression (Deco style) diffusion panels are stunning - room looking and sounding superb !
