Here are some pictures from a visit there a few weeks ago if you want to take a look around his studio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/technochick/sets/72157594165050368/

No, he was pretty clearly talking about music at that point. Ron didn't have an oscilloscope in his cutting room when I was there. He uses his ears, and as far as I know he checks for phase problems by looking at the grooves under a microscope. As for equipment, all I saw was some SAE graphic equalizers, a limiter (don't remember which kind) and (I think) an SAE stereo power amp to drive the cutting head. For CDR masters, he had something like a Numark DJ CD Player. The speakers he was monitoring on were definitely nothing special, and the cutting room's acoustic treatment was a piece of dirty carpet. This is before his latest move -- I've not been to cut anything since 2000... It's all good solid equipment, but it's nothing particularly exotic. There might be things I didn't see, but the 'magic' comes seems to come mostly from Ron's experience with how far the gear can be pushed without burning out the cutting head or causing distortion. That and the fact that he really appreciates the music. More art than science.
