I´m not excited about anal... | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? Me too... Honestly, digital can´t surpass analog IMHO. So I´m not worrying. | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? Sorry to hear your terrible loss :( Your bro is mad.However, `hi-res´ files are really something else in today´s digital audio and worth to try. In fact one of the very famous and serious `professional´ audiophiles says that those files mops all a... | |
| Anyone else having trouble getting cartridges back they sent for repair? Maybe he just forgot you, he has way too much work to do as he has no assistant. Make a direct phone call, he usually ignores emails as far as I know. | |

| Farewell Rick Wright of Pink Floyd The Pompeii concert film shot in Autumn 1971 is probably the best prog live "gig" filmed. The whole Meddle album is their finest achievement, every tune is a gem in its own right and "Echoes" one of Prog´s best epics. Richard Wright was criminal... | |
| Rush albums sound quality Hello Steve, Signals is dull (lack of dynamics) due to the fact that it is a digital recording (JVC). It´s a pity as it´s one of their finest albums (musically).Their next effort Grace under Pressure must also be a digital due to dull sound again ... | |

Who cares, buyer gets new pristine vinyl and cover, inserts etc. anyway, that makes him/her happy. To be honest... |
