Hello all... Regarding Mike Skeet's collection... Courtesy of Tony Flynn, who says: "here is a complete list of Mike's things, excluding the home made kit, of which there is loads, and I don't know what's there." If you are interested in any of these items, or you have any proposals on the

I have some storage space available in London for the master tapes, depending on how much there is. I did try and find out exactly what kit Mike was selling through a friend of his and indeed I bought his DPA5100: I believe someone else bought his Soundfields and Sennheiser MKH30s. As far as I r

Richard, Sad to hear that he has died. His Garage Door recording is a classic -- although I only have it on the HFN CD, and assume that somewhere there are ambisonic files! I was thinking only the other day that most of my stuff would instantly lose value when I shuffle off my moral coil.
