Check Out Some of Our Reviews (and Those of Our Customers’) for Albums on the Analogue Productions Label
Saving the world from bad sound you say? Hey, that’s what I’m about too!
I thought I was doing a pretty good job of it, laying out, often in great detail, exactly what’s wrong with these new Heavy Vinyl records being put out by the likes of Mobile Fidelity and Analogue Productions.
We have over 250 listings for them right here on the blog. Are there some good ones I missed?
Apparently the writer for the Times thinks there are, although some of the ones he mentions do not do much for his credibility. (Aja comes to mind, made from a copy tape — Chad goes that extra mile all right! To see what Sisario has to say about the album, with our take as well, just scroll to the bottom of this commentary.)
Let’s see what Sisario has to say about the man from Kansas and his vinyl empire.
An article about Chad Kassem and Analogue Productions has just come out, written by Ben Sisario for The New York Times.
Sisario is the guy who was as enamored with Pete Hutchison of the Electric Recording Company as he seems to be of the fellow you see pictured, a man who he has no trouble calling “The Wizard of Vinyl,” and with a straight face as far as I can tell.
Audiophiles in my experience tend to be credulous — I should know, I was as credulous as they come about everything audio back in my twenties and thirties — but it seems that writers for The New York Times will believe almost anything somebody tells them about records. (Perhaps Sisario will be taken to task in the comments section, but I’m sure not going to waste my time trying to find out.)
I would love to have him come to Westlake so we could play him some of the albums he seems to think are so great. That would be one helluva wake-up call. Not only would he have to retract this article, he would have to retract the one about Hutchison. That would be a win win in my book!
