Morning Arny! You have misinterpreted my meaning here - perhaps I should have made my point more explicitly. What I meant was simply that there was no way to "clone" or "rip" an LP back in the day, & that making a cassette tape (or even a domestic reel-to-reel tape) copy resulted in even further reduced fidelity. This is clearly borne out by the fact that album sales were much greater for chart-topping material in the pre- CD-R/ripping software era than they are today, even though the quality of the media used for commercial recordings now available for sale is clearly superior. And in those days we were all informed that "home taping is killing music". Ah, Jim lad... :rolleyes: Dave :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Golden Earring's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106519 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
