iFi/MA Recordings Spring Concert Tour Announcement:
Concert TourWe are excited to announce that we will be sending an iDac2 paired with a downloadable sampler of MA Recordings music, selected by Todd Garfinkle of MA Recordings, on tour exclusively for Audiocircle members. This tour will be limited to 6 Audiocircle members. But before I get into too much detail, I first want to talk about MA Recordings.
My Experience with MA RecordingsThrough the years of doing RMAF. I would occasionally see a great room during the show that would stick in my memory. A system that just speaks to your soul. It wasn't an occurrence that happened often if at all. Occasionally we would find one individual who hit it out of the park every year. Perhaps not by coincidence one of the top 5 performers in this category was the MA Recordings room/booth. I will never forget the first time I was at the show and I met Todd Garfinkle. A passionate man who spends his life traveling the world recording live musicians using methods that few, if any, are using. When you hear the quality of Todd's work it is obvious that he has special insight into how to make each and every recording dynamic, balanced, with amazing ambience, and still capture the artistic intent in a way that defies most other recordings.
MA recordings was one of the few rooms at RMAF that performed well every single year. I always walked out with at least one recording (most of the time several).
Llama,
Eduardo Eguez,
Voice of the Pipa, and one of my personal favorite albums of all time
Ghatam just to name a few.

This was my first experience with MA Recordings and it was wonderful!
