Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is.

DANLIB... your far out man, holy shizzel. What happened to make you so up tight. Chile out, have a puff, sit in the sun, whatever. You've got to get back in the groove brother. Some people need a little help, don't get down on them. It's cool man. Dig?

Holt ever do any serious recording? When I hear my instruments ( both electric and acoustic Basses ) tracks recordings played back the overall sound is remarkably lifelike. Along with knowledgeable engineering the chain, including the microphones and the speakers, is doing a very good job.

Some recording engineers work with absolutely horrible playback equipment but when you hear the take in a well equipped post production room the original tracks are stunningly life like.

The degradation begins during post production and goes downhill ending with the finished media. Unfortunately, I can't speak of the direct to disk method of recording.
