What Makes API Gear Sound So Good? With Jeff Steiger of CAPI

Jeff Steiger of CAPI and I get nerdy about various vintage audio and DIY topics, including: Why create a company dedicated to vintage API gear? Why not Neve, SSL, etc.? Will we ever see ClassicAPI kits in a 1RU rack format, instead of 500-series? Why does old API gear sound so good when it's specs are so bad? The sonically stunning Gar2520 opamp Jeff's new, two-stage preamp design, the VP28 How Jeff tried to cram a full API console strip into one 500-series slot. "Inventory management is a bitch." How DIY gear is beginning to penetrate the big-budget recording world. Are we seeing a return to the early days of recording when many engineers built their own custom gear?
