Re: Is streaming profitable......

I'm perplexed how remastering a vinyl copy of one of your albums indicates thumbs up for streaming your albums ?

Re: Is streaming profitable......

I don't think Steely Dan would be to impressed . Well, whats left of Steely Dan (I assume you mean the band) seems to have no problem with the process Donald Fagen has overseen a new remaster of Steely Dan’s 1973 LP, Countdown to Ecstasy, which will be reissued on vinyl on May 26 (via Geffen/UMe). ...

Re: Fusion....

Re: even more lateral fets

Does the top-end sound a bit duff, Ed ? It doesn't look like much , but I know from the current-sourced filament supply project a few years ago with Nick and Andrew that small phase rotations up there can make or break the sound.

Re: Holmfield hum
