Product information "Das STEREO Festival der Master-Tapes"

Welcome to the unique Festival of Master-Tapes Since time immemorial, it has been surrounded by a special aura and stands for ultimate sound quality: the fast-running, two-track analog mastertape of a recording. Few listeners today still have access to this medium as it requires an appropriately designed, high-quality tape machine. But this has not changed the nimbus of the "shoestring" - quite the contrary. Not a few are looking for listening experience. For this reason STEREO offers the quality-infatuated HiFi enthusiasts this unique "Festival of Master Tapes" which offers the audiophile gourmet a chance to experience their sonic potential via CD, SACD or high-bit files. Among the suppliers within a small, fine scene, which produce mastertapes, STEREO has selected 16 strong titles, which have been transferred to this disc set with the greatest care. An absolute tape machine legend in the form of Nagra's IV-S, which was made available to STEREO in perfect condition by the manufacturer from Switzerland for the transfers, guarantees the highest level of quality. The specification was: two tracks, only one direction of travel, a speed of 38 cm/sec plus distortion according to CCIR. The transfers were made under optimal conditions and without any intermediary equipment, directly to the compact, battery-powered Nagra Seven digital recorder, which converts the music to 24-bit/192-kilohertz PCM format and stores it in ist SSD memory. The DVD-ROM of this tape festival makes those untreated files accessible. From these, the information for the 16-bit/44.1 kHz CD layer of the hybrid SACD is generated, while for ist high-resolution track, the PCM data is transferred to the DSD format in an extremely precise and time-consuming calculation process. This ensures that the sound is always as close as possible to the original sound of the tape machine and the respective tapes. STEREO has done everything so that you can immerse yourself in the fascinating sound world of analog master tapes.
