Jeffrey and Dave were generous in letting my try a couple different ratios to find the best one (and ... | |
| Why do my rolling stones albums sound bad? "Down In The Hole" from Emotional Rescue is one of my favorite Stones songs and very well recorded. I've picked up an original UK pressing of "Exile on Main Street" and it is revelatory. It's actually a pretty good recording and worth every penny. | |

| Dumb VTA Question J Carr's comments are spot on. If you look at the original paper Michael Fremer cites re: SRA, it is not an exact measurement; rather it indicates a range. You are correct in assuming that it is difficult to measure SRA with precision and accuracy... |
