" BUT sweet **** all was pure digital, it was mostly ****ing tape based ****. "


Phil: I've heard analog tape-based CDs
that blow the doors off many "DDD" spars
code discs because those earlier anolog
sources were mastered without all being
squashed down to a crest factor of less
than 1dB. MASTERING matters a *lot*
more than recording or playback format,
analog or digital.
