is there a market?


Is their a large enough market within the audiophile community and music lovers alike to start a recording company that recorded primarily jazz and classical music the right way?  Is there a chance to capture the great orchestras of america in a totally analog process from start to finish just like they did back in the fifties?  I would think many orchestras would jump at the opportunity to be part of the effort to be recorded like the great orchestras were in the mid 20th century.  Is there still equipment in existence and engineering know how to make this happen?  There certainly is a renewed interest in vinyl and the sound it produces even if it is done digitally.  How about the real thing?

I live in Chicago, and I do get the chance to tape a few jazz trios on occasion, but no one who has a record deal will allow that anymore.  I love your idea, and I'd be "all in" if one could make it work.  Stereophile has made some pretty good analog recordings over the years, as has record label ECM.  Sears sound recording in New York is another studio/label that does them right.  It is very frustrating to hear so much quality music being "compressed to death" in the recording process.  Most all of the classical music that I listen too are on Lp's pre 1966 for this very reason.  The dynamic range that these old jazz and classical records have is simply incredible. 

Great post, wonderful idea!
