Iain, of course, has an axe to grind since he makes a living out of

Dave. Please stop this irritating spate of dissemination of
false information. I do not make a living in the way you
describe above. The great majority of the project in which
I am involved are 24bit digital. If a client asks for analogue
multitrack (as is sometimes the case in jazz or R+R concerts)
then ours is one of the few crews that can supply this and
have the expertise required for its use. Monitoring is also
something in which many clients like to have a say. A good
selection of professional monitors and amplifiers is available,
plus valve power amps if required.

So you supply all this old analogue equipment for free? I didn't say you
used it exclusively. Nor was it in any way a criticism - if a client wants
something and is willing to pay I see nothing wrong in supplying it.


As a man who seems so keen on accuracy in reproduced sound,
you seem remarkably lax with the written word:-)

I was trying to give a 'get out' to a pro who continually makes ambiguous
statements about how vinyl sounds better by quoting non sequitur examples.

I'm also still waiting for your explanation of the 'strengths' of vinyl
which you mentioned earlier.
