Any audiophiles on here?
I've done lots of research about the series and it looks like Toei threw away the master tapes, which is upsetting. I don't even think Columbia released every BGM piece that they should of. But for the folks who have access to the highest quality BGM, what kind of system do you use or recommend?

Absolutely! Take a search around for "broadcast audio"-related threads here in the general section, and any of the longer BGM-related threads in the music section. You're heading down a deep rabbit hole!

Re: Any audiophiles on here?
The person you want to talk to is Kei17 (just don't ask for the broadcast audio, as it seems there were too many requests for it). Kei is probably the biggest audio expert on this forum, and was the one who revealed to me--and a lot of other Kanzenshuuers, I'm sure--that there was even such a thing as "the original broadcast audio." For many years, I thought the audio I heard on FUNimation's DVDs was just how the show sounded.Clayton wrote:I've done lots of research about the series and it looks like Toei threw away the master tapes, which is upsetting.

Re: Any audiophiles on here?
I just recently acquired a new system that was years in the making. The Altec Lansing 620 with the 604-8H, Series III duplex. The units are MC7300, C38, and D100. Occasionally, I'll be listening to DBZ music/BGM pieces. Hopefully Columbia will release the rest of them..Clayton wrote:I've done lots of research about the series and it looks like Toei threw away the master tapes, which is upsetting.

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Paging Kei17...
...Because the TAVAC recording studio no longer exists, what happened to the mono (partially stereo) masters of the pieces of music used for the TV show and films, which are still on 3/4 reel form?

Re: Any audiophiles on here?
Ah man, that's a slight bummer...I mean, it's not like any particular show must be recorded in any one specific studio, but it's sort of the end of an era, and not just for Dragon Ball. Although, from doing some research, it appears that the structural integrity of the building in an earthquake was a concern...as somebody who lives in earthquake-prone California, I can't say I blame them.VegettoEX wrote:Very beginning of Super's production.

Re: Any audiophiles on here?
Yeah, the original TAVAC studio was closed in September 2015 due to structural integrity concerns after the earthquakes hit. I didn't realize it myself until this last January when I was researching some updated information for the production guide.
TAVAC the company does still exist and works on various Toei projects, including Dragon Ball Super, but TAVAC themselves no longer have a recording studio. They now coordinate recordings with Sound Inn studio or the Toei Digital Center.Kojiro Sasaki wrote:Are you sure that it does not exist?

Re: Any audiophiles on here?
This is what I am using at the time:
Everybody talks about original broadcast audio and its quality... But what is the equipment you want to use to listen to it? Share some photos here! I'm realy curious what do you use to listen to Dragon Ball related stuff.
(I know that this topic is old, but it's not THAT old and all the people who wrote here are still active today. I figured out that it does not make any sense to start another identical topic)

Beautiful set up! I would just sit there for hours and listen to some of the crystal clear background music.AnimeMaakuo wrote:I just recently acquired a new system that was years in the making.

You don't need to be. I'm also not an audiophile - I'm way too tolerant “Audio enthusiast” is a better word to describe me.floofychan333 wrote:I'm fanatically obsessed with Shun Kikuchi's BGMs but I'm no audiophile.

Re: Any audiophiles on here?
There's an awesome YouTuber called Mugiwalarge that has uploaded the majority of Kikuchi's Dragon Ball/Z BGMs and some One Piece BGMs too if you like that stuff.Kojiro Sasaki wrote:You don't need to be.
