EMM Labs on Bad Redbook


For those who have heard or own the Philips/EMM combo, how does it do with those compressed, veiled redbook discs from the 80s and early 90s? Take the Beatles' White Album or the Stones' Exile on Main Street as examples. How close can the Meitner gear get recordings like this to vinyl?

Thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated.

It's true that the EMM Labs won't make a bad recording sound good. But it can open up the dynamics on recordings that sound compressed, just as a good cartridge can do the same for what appears to be a sonically constricted LP.
