Posted by Arthur Salvatore on 2018-02-21, 07:38:39 (98.249.198.118)
The above post is pathetic. It even uses "lol" as a heading!? A sad reminder: The discussion concerns a man who has just recently DIED, Charles Hansen. Hansen confessed his highly critical thoughts a .......

Posted by Arthur Salvatore on 2015-05-11, 11:42:58 (98.249.196.191)
I disagree with this methodology. The selling price of the component has serious relevance and must be taken into account. "Excellent" should mean the top 10% performers within any particular componen .......

Dear Roy, No apology is necessary. I wanted to write the above post almost a year ago, when the subject first came up, but I was delayed for various reasons. Further, to reply to a specific comment in .......

In a recent thread, the writer (vinyl phanatic) mentions a post, concerning Decca and London (classical music) pressings, that he (I assume) made at the beginning of 2013. Here is the relevant section .......
