TAS average 70-75??!! Stunning. Of the long time reviewers, I do have great respect for John Atkinson. In fact, Stereophile's measurements courtesy of John is the only reason I still have a subscription. As an aside, I would love to see audiophile magazines publish the DR value for every album they review... That would be great incentive for record labels to pay attention that many of us actually do care about dynamic range. Has anyone seen a letter to the editor about this??? If not, maybe I should write one.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archimago's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2207 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94485 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
