dgarretson,If you're reading this , I was inquiring (about the PF lps) in order to decide whether or not I should go for these new re-issues. I prize knowledgeable member's reviews more than Fremer's in my decision making. Thanks. 
Rolling Stones Mono Box Set (lp or cd)

"Between The Buttons". After just hearing "Aftermath", "BTB" is a major disappointment! Partly because of the SQ, but mostly because, IMO, it is a step backwards from their previous effort. The songs are of little importance. This was the time whe...

Well done! I really appreciate your research, your thoroughness, your implementation. I really love the filtering system/pump aspect. Thanks.

Ok.. I just put on "Please, please me" from the Beatles Mono box (lp).I noticed a lack of volume in relation to the listener at normal levels. But, I want to turn it up! Listening to the RS, I find at normal listening levels, I think that turning ...

Hell... I'm going to just say it...I'm very disappointed so far! I'm disappointed because of the lack of any perceived analog nature!There is no real analog sense going on here. I love the detail, I love the ambient info, I love the musical bass.....
