As I said earlier, these days manufacturers take even less care with
vinyl than they do with other media sources.

CD technology could and should have given us a flat FR from near DC up
to 25kHz, easily covering the range of human hearing. Even going up
to 22kHz it still covers quite comfortably the range of older
listeners such as myself. So to all intents and purposes we could and
should be getting near perfect audio reproduction. But what do we
actually get? While there are some very good quality CDs available,
even of those recordings originally released on vinyl, there are also
too many examples where the sound has been ruined by over-processing.
As has been said many times before, the fault lies not in the
technology, but in the people who use it

It's sad that with each passing generation music in particular and
artistic endeavour in general seem to become less 'art' and more of a
commodity, to be bought, sold, resampled, even stolen.

On a lighter note, not even musical names are safe from this process.
I have come to realise that up here in Scotland, there's a flourishing
humorous line in 'resampled' names for bands, tunes, and songs:
Ceilidh Minogue
Def Shepherd
Red Hot Chilli Pipers
Top Of The Crops
Tradivarious
.... and close, but no cigar ...
Bah Hamburg Part II
The Band From Rockall
The Last Tango in Harris

I know there was another I particularly liked, but I can't remember it
now.

Cue a long off-topic subthread where everyone offers their own
suggestions ...

I've now got to the stage of trying a test record and immediately found
several issues. The two most important are wiring errors resulting in
L-R reversal and a phase reversal on the left channel. In other words,
it's a pigs ear.
