Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

I go back to the FIRST GENERATION players sold here in the 'States. That's gotta be about 1983.
My Magnevox FD-1000 is (still have it) an early 14 bit player.

The cassettes I made for 'samples' sold probably 4 or 5 CD players to folks who were simply blown away that MY cassettes sounded better than ANY factory cassette they owned. The car kid next door couldn't look me in the eye. My HONDA with about 4 watts and 4" speakers sounded BETTER than his Megabuck Car Stereo with all the crap he could add-on. And the difference was MY cassettes burned from some of my first CDs.

Supertramp, 'Crime of the Century' never sounded so good. My speakers at the time were some Magnepan MG-1 probably driven at that time by my long-gone Carver Cube.
Too much is never enough
