Perhaps a way traveling to the future is traveling to the past

For example how Fostex mics and information were brought to Pleiades labs.


This is the time sequence:


First, about a month ago, the Fostex M88RP is auditioned using the Sennheiser HD580 headphones by chance on www.coutant.org.
Too many mics were being auditioned over the years but the Fostex link button was not hit.
It is found impressive that the bass is not offending and the rest of spectrum is smooth.


Then a search on Google revealed by Gearslutz that the Fostex M88RP was used to record the vocals of the song
Too Late to Say Goodbyes - Julian Lennon


Then the song was relistened (after so many years from listening to it in the 80s) on YouTube.


Next the Fostex M88RP was found and immediately bought on eBay.


Then Fostex in Japan was contacted for more information. They seemed really pleased about the Jullian Lenon song.


Then it arrives.


It sounds amazing and synergies greatly with Pleiades (R,L) filters for gentle high pass. Immediately another Fostex M88RP was bought on eBay.


The name Shunichi Tabuchi was found on the Gearslutz thread. The patent was found by advanced espacenet search with the Shunichi Tabuchi name.


Then the Fostex M22RP was dreamed and was also bought on eBay. And some other Fostex printed ribbon microphones such as M11RP, M55RP, M20RP, M77RP.


Then the AES proceedings paper referred on Gearslutz was bought from the AES website. There the name Robert R. Gamzon or referenced as inventor.


Then Robert R. Gamzon on Google revealed the US patent and the names of the Gamson family and the co inventor Efrein Heinrich Frei.
