Which of Hoffmans re-releases sound "like shit" compared to which recordings done right today with recent equipment? I'm not sure why a few of you are so passionately anti-audiophile. You are cutting off your nose to spite your face. As it pertains to proper digital mastering of analog tape, you are missing out. It is also not possible for me to help anyone overcome a case of poor taste in music who isn't willing to contemplate the subject matter. There are hundreds and hundreds of rock albums recorded in the 60s, 70s and into the 80s which, if mastered properly from the original source tape, will sound FAR different that what most have accepted. And Ralph, I'd just love to know which rock albums you have in mind which should be forgotten. McCartney? Elvis Presley? Faces? The Doors? For the record, there is no worship of any kind and that sort of talk will not move the conversation here forward. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jh901's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18175 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98249 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
