Analog Audio is specialized in the repair, refurbishing and rebuilding of classic Studer tape machines for professional and private users. And, proprietor Andreas Kuhn from Spiez recently began to issue his own high-speed 'master' tapes and lower-speed consumer versions which will play back on standard Revox decks. Naturally Andreas also sells CDs of these analog purist recordings.


He reported brisk enough business to warrant taking out his own Klangschloss room this year. He not only works on Studer decks but can head-hunt them for you. If you want one of these classics, let him know. He buys them up all the time and has the necessary contacts in the field. If he doesn't inventory your dream deck, he'll start chasing it on your behalf. Surveying the goodies he'd brought, one couldn't fail to be impressed by how this stuff was built to last then. They hadn't yet discovered predetermined obsolescence and perfectly timed engineered-in failures. We've rapidly progressed since.

This deck was still looking for a home.
