After I started mastering my own recordings I now offer mastering for outside clients as well. Since some time I moved from ITB (in the box) to a hybrid setup (plugins + analog gear) to combine the best of both worlds. Since I specialize in acoustic Jazz and Classical recordings I have chosen my analog devices in such a way that they meet the requirements of subtle sound optimization:

Gainlab Audio Dictator
SPL Vitalizer MK2-T
Drawmer 1973
Tegeler Magnetismus 2
Tegeler Creme
IGS Rubber Bands
TK Audio BC501
Rupert Neve 535 stereo
D.A.V. BG3
Heritage Audio Symph EQ
