Beatles Box Sets Update
From Acoustic Sounds"Due to misinformation we received previously, we erroneously announced that this Mono Box Set would be numbered edition. These copies are not numbered. But they most definitely are very, very limited! We will be happy to cance... 
Beatles Box Sets Update
I was sure the 10K number was phony when I first saw it, so I don't feel to ripped off. I suspect that they will do the controlled production to keep demand up like what happens as standard practice in the video game industry. Actually there are q...

The Beatles albums finally all remastered
I'm no expert on the Beatles, but from what I have read quite a few people believe that more time and care was placed on the mono mixes of the albums as stereo was a bit of a novelty for pop records at the time.George Martin supposedly said: "You'... 
Updated system need your suggestions
Both the Osprey and the PSB Stratus gold are great speakers and at their current used prices a good deal. Paradigm studio 40 or 60 may be good as wellThe small room may be a problem though with both these speakers overloading the bass. Been throug... 
The Beatles albums finally all remastered
That took a loooooong time!I was a naysayer on the mono mixes until I tracked them down. The solid foundation that the drum and bass get in the mono mixes is eye opening to say the least. Separate from the cd remaster issue we have been robbed by ...

Doors Box Set on LP - Bernie Grundman
My reading of the press on these was that the vinyl box was 'remastered' digitally with original mix while the Rhino Cd box was 'remastered' and 'remixed' digitally. I am neutral on the remixing with the cd box, some tracks are improved some track...
