Sunday’s guitarist had one of those, great during rehearsal just noise during the service. Didn’t matter he couldn’t be heard over the trumpets and organ anyway. Nor could the bass for that matter.

Re: Subjectivity. Linn's contribution in the 70's?

I’m sure I have said previously, probably more than once, that the very first reviews of the LP12 were not complementary. I remember reading them. I also remember wondering why something that wasn’t well received was now flavour of the month. I never bought one, I went for a Thorens TD160 with an SM...

Re: HS2 opinions

Re: When hi-res audio stops making sense…

As I am sure you know bit depth determines dynamic range. It seems rather pointless to compress the dynamics out of a recording, or performance, and then issue it as 24bit. A friend, who used to run a recording studio, once cautioned that “if you can hear the compression, you’re using too much”. He...
