- And I imagine the majority of us are quite tickled pink at a *good*
- sounding LP *or* CD, and get really ticked off at scratchy records and
- CD's sloppily mastered from 18th generation tapes by an uncaring
- record company. (Particularly Atlantic Records. CURSE their North
- American releases of Yes, Zeppelin, ELP, Genesis, etc., etc., etc.) I
- do not have a particularly fancy stereo system by any means, or the
- ears of a dog, and yet I am still *really* thrilled when I have the
- privilege of hearing a great-sounding recording. And really ticked
- off when the recording (or mastering) sucks.
