I don´t know, how others feel about it, but for myself there was always the question about spatial reproduction. Is my system it doing right? But how to judge it, when I don´t know how the music was exactly recorded?
So in the weekend I did an experiment: I took two NeumaGC microphones, mounted on a Jecklin Disc. That signal was amplified by a valve microphone amp and than fed directly to a Studer 807 open reel recorder. I placed the microphones next to a piece of garden, where I anyway had to cut the grass. Now moving the lawnmower I knew exactly my positions.
Playing back that tape via my System confirmed, that the spatial reproduction is very good. Also information about hight ( the sound of passing planes)
To me a very satisfying experiment!
