There's a studio in Mississauga called Metalworks (co-owned by members of
Triumph) that has this technology for in-house recording sessions geared to
FM radio. Segarini and I have used the system on more than one occasion.

My father was an electronics whiz and custom built stereos as a hobby. My
records always sounded better on the home system than on AM radio....so much
so that Dad had speakers built into the patio deck at the back of our house
and I'd regularly get the neighbourhood kids and my friends over for weekend
marathon listening sessions. My Dad and I would go out on Friday nights,
scan the latest CHUM Music chart and pick new releases from the Top30 to
spin on the system at home the next day. This was in 1976/77.
