It could also remove most of the pops, clicks and scratches from LPs. If I remember correctly dbx is pretty good in removing much of the hiss if you have that feature on your tape deck. The analog laser turntable from Japan would remove all the LP defects that you would have form a conventional turntable. I heard said turntable at HE2005. It sounded good, but it did not remove all of the audible defects of the LP format. It's an archivists' tool. |

Purchase question
Sorry Guy but for my personnal taste American beer and Ale are far far
far from being the best in the world. It might be the best in the world for an American. But it is so inferior in taste with Scotish, English, German, Belgium and even Beer from "Micro-Brasserie" that are opening in Québec. American Beer are beer what we call in Québec "Biere de Soif=beer of thirst" while most other beer from all the other countries are again in Québec "Biere de Degustation= A beer of Tasting". You drink American Beer because you're thirsty. You will never drink Coors or Molson or Labatt or Miller in an international beer tasting contest held outside of US because they would not qualify as a Hi-End Beer. You drink a NewCastle or a MacEwan or Une mort Subite or Une blanche de Chambly or a Joe MonFerrand for the taste of it. Telling that American Beer is the best Beer in the world is like Telling McDonald is the best Gastronomy in the world. Or if we put it in a audio concept: American Beer are the 4.99 plastic speaker that you can buy at Walmart while the import Beer are a nice pair of Spendor, or a Cremora, Or any great sounding Loudspeaker. Try any of those beer I mentionned and I'M pretty sure you will never go back to American Beer. Even here in Canada Molson always put a small label on each bottle stating that they are the winner for the international beer festival held in francfort. Its is one of the worst tasting beer in Canada. The State do make Great Wine. But for the beer.... I know it a question of taste. You prefer American Beer and most European and people from Québec can't stand the taste of the US Beers. Anyway! Why am I posting a discussion on beer in a AUDIO Group??? Bye and don't forget to enjoy your brew while I will enjoy mine. Cheers!!! George M. Middius a écrit : Nath said: Still spending your dole on ale for the mates?

American beers and ales are now the best in the world. George, please tell me you were high when you made the above assertion. While I wouldn't go so far as George in his praise of American beers, there is no doubt that the craft brewing industry in the US has created a beer scene with more diversity and quality than any country outside of Belgium. There are certainly areas in the US that are beer wastelands with nothing available but Budmillorcoors, but visiting somewhere like Portland OR will quickly change your mind about American beers. First of all, ale IS beer. Second of all, I would say that many American beers are now AMONG the best in the world. There are planty of really fine beers being produced here. Still, subject to the fact that this is opinion, the most sterling examples of the different styles still reside in other countries for the most part. Steam beer would be the only counter-example that I can think of. However, the beer industry in the US has come light years in the past two decades. With beers like Sierra Nevada and Anchor Steam, it's been shown that America can mass-produce beers of world class quality. And, as noted, there is a multitude of micro-breweries that offer world class product that produce smaller quantities of great beer. We probably have the most vibrant and adventurous beer industry in the world at the moment. Yet, the shelves are FULL of mediocre beer just waiting to be quaffed by uneducated US consumers. In my humble town of Nashville, there are FIVE microbreweries that offer fresh beer in a multitude of styles, brewed right on the premises and pumped directly from the holding tanks into the glass. One of them even offers a daily selection of cask-conditioned British-style ale served at an approriate cellar temperature. They produce only a pony keg a day and when it's gone it's gone (it usually only lasts about 2 hours max). That particular brewery is one of only a handful of breweries in the world that produced the old German style stone beer. It's always available in sufficient quantites to be offered as a standard menu item. |

Even Sluttie has acknowledged the flowering of the microbrewery industry. I was indulging in hyperbole originally, but on reflection, I'd say there are some American beers that are unsurpassed anywhere in the world. Not necessarily pilsners -- Belgium can keep the crown for them. Around here, one of the leading regionals is Wild Goose. Their IPA is to die for. |

You might be surprised to learn that America is not the only country where micro-breweries proliferate local communities. I have had the good fortune of sampling some astonishingly good local brews in places like India, Peru, Zambia and Uzbekistan. However, in my opinion, only the Netherlands matches America's record at making diluted horse **** concoctions commerically successful (Heineken, Amstel, Coors, Miller, Budweiser). Belgium notwithstanding, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Britain, Ireland all offer some fantastic beers. |

"dave weil" wrote in message I'd say that the US far surpasses the UK interms of variety though. You can get anything from hefeweissen to IPAs. Every world style is covered somewhere in pretty large quanties in the US. It's hard to make that case for the UK. Still, the UK has some of what I would call "ultimate" versions of certain styles like brown ale and stout. It's hard to beat Samuel Smith and Guinness, two brands that are available (if not nearly as good, especially Guinness) here in the US. Actually, what I really miss is Caffrey's. It's a fairly common beer in England and I have never seen it here. |
