It's Linn - and they wouldn't do that! This is a fantastic mastering/engineering job - as are pretty much all Linn records. All Carol Kidd/Claire Martin/Barb Jungr releases (all jazz btw) are great. By the way, if you stick the Linn 24/96 masters through a spectrum analyser you will find there is nothing over 25kHz - which IMO is to be expected. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
