High Resolution Revolution and the Return of Reel-to-Reel Tape at The California Audio Show 2015

The 2015 California Audio Show (August 14-16), at the Westin San Francisco Airport (SFO) Hotel, in the Bay Area, is the 2nd longest-running audio show in the U.S., now in its 6th year. Already with an exciting list of exhibitors for the 2015 edition, the California Audio Show decided to promote new high resolution audio demonstration areas, among other interesting initiatives.

In this much sought after modification project, Nelson Pass rekindles his desire for the JBL L300 Summit loudspeakers and completes a renovation. As he explains, “it is not a trivial task to improve on original JBL design." "I think I’ve managed to respect the JBL legacy while tweaking the sound to reflect the tastes of the 21st century.” Article originally published in audioXpress, January 2012.

Over the years, some of the best Nelson Pass projects have been featured by Audio Amateur and audioXpress magazines. The A40 power amp article was published in The Audio Amateur, 4/78, and the A75 power amplifier appears in The Audio Amateur 4/92 and 1/93. His other works are posted at passdiy.com.
