Nagra: 70th Year Anniversary Collection Album (Vinil 200g, LP dublu)

René Laflamme is one of the most sought-after sound engineers in the industry. He has earned an excellent reputation in the world of high-end hi-fi with his unerring instinct for combining audio components for the best possible sound. Companies such as Nagra Audio and Kronos Audio hire him as a representative and seek his advice. Together with André Perry, founder of the famous „Le Studio” in Québec, he runs the label 2xHD and releases audiophile remasters using sophisticated technology.

The „70th Year Anniversary Collection Album” was mastered on Nagra equipment at 2xHD and cut from the analog master tapes at Bernie Grundman Mastering. The four sides include tracks by Bill Evans, Louis Armstrong, Monty Alexander and Buddy Tate, as well as some amazing audiophile tracks recorded on the legendary Nagra IV-S tape machine.

We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
