The six-foot circle of dark, oak wood in the Opry House stage is shiny but clearly well worn. While many things about the Opry have changed over the years, its integrity remains. Country greats grew up listening to the Opry on radio, and future generations of Opry stars continue to find out about the show on satellite radio or the Internet. However people hear about the show, they will have a connection to the legends and the giants who came before them.
In April 2004, Kevin Reinen, the Chief Technical Engineer from the Grand Ole Opry decided to upgrade the show's multi-track recording facilities. Choosing equipment to record once-in-a-lifetime events is a daunting challenge. In the winter of 2003, the Grand Ole Opry installed a Euphonix System 5. On its trial run, the AMD processor-powered Euphonix system allowed the Opry to capture performances in their entirety, recording over ten hours — about 290 GB — of archive-quality audio data. As a result, the Opry replaced its existing x86-based machine with the AMD64 system and hasn't looked back.
