I greatly enjoyed Kade Hansson's account here: For years, devoted audiophiles have been complaining that CDs are too "sharp" sounding and do not present the "warmth" of vinyl records. I personally find this ridiculous- vinyl is clearly a distorted impression of the sound- and it is my belief that a vinyl record, suitably filtered, and recorded onto a CD (or MD), would exhibit no difference to a listener accustomed to this warmth. i.e. The effect is probably a desirably familar distortion, not an advantage of analogue sounds over digital sounds. I've always wanted to hear an informed opinion on that issue, and I loved it! In case David Janssen (sp?) doesn't post here any more, it needs to be announced that Prospec will no longer sell its SCMS-stripper after October 1, and has already stopped manufacturing them. Something's up in Japan, whatever it is, that has caused them to be banned. If you want one, either go ahead and order or look into the other models that have been mentioned here. ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
