Enzo Pietropaoli on Fonè Records
I mentioned recently that installing the Fostex FE108-Sol drivers and removing the notch filters opened a new chapter in my audiophile journey. Yet without good recordings, this journey leads nowhere. In the context of my minimalist approach, based on crossover-less single-driver speakers, tube amplification, and a non-oversampling DAC, a good recording is one conceived through a process of utmost simplicity — using a single pair of microphones, with no electronic manipulation or artificial correction of the signal — as the only way to produce a natural-sounding recording.
