The album, dubbed Jazzy Zoetrope, is the result of a mutual passion for great sound and audiophile technologies shared between ProJect company owner Heinz Lichtenegger and fellow Austrian 7Ray. Jazzy Zoetrope features both a high-quality studio recording and a "pure live" recording of songs. As well as giving you a direct comparison of the performance styles, you also get a choice of formats - an audiophile 180g double LP (£35), pressed by AUSTROVINYL, or a direct master tape (£445) supplied on ¼-inch SM468 Tape, on 2 x 10.5-inch NAB metal reels in 15ips speed, CCIR equalised.

The record features a suite of Jazz classics that takes you on a musical journey through both a meticulously planned studio performance and a perfectly executed live recording, according to Pro-Ject. Naturally, the tracks are performed to an exceptional standard by 7Ray, with fellow musicians Simon Plötzeneder and the jazz trio Triple Ace.
Subjected to a pure analogue recording, mixing and mastering process the album has no cuts and no edits, just a totally authentic, natural feel.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
