Let's Take a Break From Munich Coverage For This Tune From Sara Gazarek and Josh Nelson
Let's take a (short) break from Munich High End 2017 coverage and instead play a track from this piano and vocal LP produced and engineered by legendary recording engineer Al Schmitt at Capitol Studios mastered by Bernie Grundman and pressed at RTI.
It's on Steel Bird Records. The two have been playing together since 2002. This is Gazarek's fourth record. The cartridge is the amazing Haniwa HCTR-01 6T "Green Marker" cartridge. Its super low internal impedance (almost a short circuit) means it must be used either with Haniwa's own phono preamp or one that is a current, not voltage amplifier like the CH Precision P1/X1 used here. BTW: no pop or click filter was used. Enjoy!
