0. We tried the Zoom connection with some success.
I don't have a camera, but plugged in a cheap microphone and
it worked, mostly. I had to run an extension cord since my PC
is 15 feet away and behind a closed door. On the Zoom forum
everyone's video was present, mine was a blank screen. I ordered
a $12 camera + mike from China (2-5 weeks). Hosting Zoom is
free and unlimited for up to 3 participants. Over 3 it is limited
to 40 minutes per session unless you sign up for the $12 a month
plan. There is button on the bottom labeled record. I haven't
tried it.
1. Free collection of Boston Symphony broadcast
tapes. 7-1/2" reels, ¼ track, mostly 3-3/4 ips Dolby
B. Includes some unique 4 channel recordings from the days of
simulcast on two FM stations. About 100 tapes. Time period 1979-1982.
Can arrange Boston pickup (in better times). email me. (Below)
2. From BBC Music Magazine Mr20
[In] World War II pianist Lili Kraus was arrested and interred
while on tour in Japan.
Seems extreme.
3. The Innuos Statement music server ($13,750)
has many audiophile tweaksseparate power supply with 8
separate supplies, 3 parts per billion clock, high end fuses
(convey more air around instruments), and tuned
feet. I realized that there are no analog inputs or outputsall
digital insideso none of this can possibly affect the
sound. Even John Atkinson is nonplussed as to what to measure.
This could be a cause for outrage but philosophically it is
just another way of emptying uninformed wealthy persons
wallets. What is wrong with that? Stereophile Ap20
