It's neat for 30+ year old technology to win the award.
I had a pleasure of playing the Jazz at the Pawnshop tapes for Winston Ma on one of the Nagra IV-S with QGB adapter setups just as the session was recorded. Although I was using the stock IV-S playback electronics with Nagra EQ, the sound was glorious even compared to the original Proprious LP and FIMs latest releases. -

JATP on tapes would be one of the must-have-music on tapes for all serious tapeheads.
We had discussed the possibility many times. As Winston had received the permission from Proprius to release his latest JATPS 3 LP set few years ago, he could have done the JATPS tapes easily. Furthermore, we had discussed the quickest way of reguvinating FIM by taking his original recordings done on tapes to be remastered (if needed) and released them on LPs, HD downloads (with Cookie Marenco already teed up), and tapes as well. It was just back in March.
And last year, we had finished the Proprius Sings - compilation of glorious choral songs from unleased Proprius tapes. It was all ready for production on CDs and to be followed up as HD file downloads, LPs, and tapes.
Then unfortunately, his illness returned last month and got worse...
Maybe we should have a new thread dedicated for Winston's work and legacy.Comment

I'll check with Mike.Originally posted by mep View Post
JATPS is somewhat like the numerous KOB versions - not in the quality of music but quantity of available different releases. I guess it's been played to death in shows, some people are sick of it. However in terms of pure sound, JATPS original tape with no noise reduction and recorded in Nagra Master EQ (not the common safety copy or so called Master Tape that had been encoded in Dolby A and recorded in IEC EQ) is something special IMHO.Comment

I'm deeply saddened to hear about Winston taking a turn for the worse. He's been fighting a long and brave battle. I'd welcome a thread about Winston because there's a couple of people here who worked with and know the man intimately. He certainly has been a force in high-end audio for many years and you know you buy perfection when you purchase a FIM recording.Originally posted by Ki Choi View Post
In fact, it was Winston who got me into tape. But I'll save that for the other thread.Myles B. Astor, PhD, Administrator
