Twilight Of Steam Volume 2

VARIOUS NORTH AMERICAN TRAINS Twilight Of Steam Volume 2 (Ever wonder what Mobile Fidelity did before they started pressing endless audiophile copies of 'Dark Side Of The Moon' ? The clue is in the name. Yes, they made High Fidelity Steam Train records! From 1965, we have one such US 17-track STEREO LP here, issued as a thrilling Audio companion to the book 'The Twilight Of Steam Locomotives' by Ron Ziel. Being Mobile Fidelity, they used state of the art recording techniques, high quality Neumann Lathe & Teldec Cutting System equipment, then pressed onto Polymax 100% static free 'not-vinyl' for the ultimate in Hi-Fi reproduction. The pasted picture sleeve shows a degree of edge scuffing but the 'not-vinyl' remains in excellent condition with few signs of play MF15)

Tracklisting & More Information

SONIC-SEVEN is the name given to the combination of technical advances and achievements contained in this recording. Under the supervision and development of Leo Kulka, and pioneered in tis use by Brad Miller, engineer/producer for Mobile Fidelity records, SONIC-SEVEN approaches a new spectrum of dynamic sound reproduction.

Special microphone techniques were designed to re-create the peculiarities and acoustical conditions of the terrain. Depending on weather conditions and air temperatures, the following microphones were used, independently: Neumann SM-2 Stereo Condenser; AKG ribbon dynamic D24b; Electro Voice dynamic 666. The Neumann SM-2 used in the Sum and Difference method of stereo recording was matrixed to left-to-right stereo. Original master recording was accomplished on Ampex 350-2 equipment, and the signal then fed to the fully automatic Newmann Master Disc Lathe through a fully transistorized control board without the use of a single transformer or vacuum tube. Frequency response of this board is ± 1 db from 5 to 100,000 cps. Intermodulation and harmonic distortion is virtually non-existant.

With the fully automatic Neumann Lathe, and the Teldec Cutting System with automatic variable pitch and depth control, the complete dynamic range is preserved at all times. Within the Teldec System is incorporated a process which makes this disc compatible for FM stereo Multiplex broadcasting as well as stereo-monaural playback system compatibility for the home. Yes, you may use this disc on ANY Phonograph Player, Stereo or Monaural, without damage to record or needle.

There you have it. The dynamic big picture of SONIC-SEVEN.
