Unheralded Sideman
Zaikesman, thanks for you thoughtful reply. You make the distinction between band members and session players while I purposely glossed over the difference. I'm lumping everybody into a single group because I want to give credit to as wide a group... 
Digitally remastered vinyl?
One of the reasons they dropped the "DDD" "AAD" and "ADD" labels is that modern record production is rarely so simple in its use of technology. In a modern pop/rock recording the original base tracks of a song may start out as a digital recording ...

Digitally remastered vinyl?
There are people who claim that certain early 80's digital recorders (Soundstream & 3M) were superior to any current 16/44.1 technology. Unfortunately these systems never attained wide use. Ry Cooder's "Bop 'Til You Drop" and Donald Fagen's "N... 
From tubes to solid state. What do you loose...

would this Deter you from buying used gear????
If everybody did this then at least you would have a readily available record of the item's ownership. With electronics you could apply the ID info out view by engraving the interior top panel of the equipment. 
Audio Matiere Quilber
I believe Audio Matiere morphed in Audio Aero. I remember hearing some of their product at the very last Chicago CES. I don't remember which model, but it sounding very fine playing Branford Marsalis's "Trio Jeepy".

EC's customer is not the consumer, but the distributor. It seems that they are putting their customer first. Subaruguru has a problem because he purchased a grey market product. If he had an US authorized unit, then the distributor would have perf...

I guess it's only human nature. People want the low prices available from internet based sites such as Audiogon, but they also want the level of service offered to customers who buy new from a bricks & mortar store.

Subaruguru, in your e-mail to Per Abrahamson why did you twice refer to this Audiogon thread? Remember, this thread is fill with heated statements by several people that they would never purchase EC products. I guess if Abrahamson now intercedes a...
