at the risk of degrading what I'm appreciating - I just wanted to send a note thanking y'all for the great discussions and high signal-to-noise ratio of this group. I've been lurking for three months, waiting till I have the finances to buy equipment to try all this stuff - and sitting on this list has been highly educational. the recent mastering conversation is really diggable. thanks! -- Rev.
