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?
