I admit that at this moment I am not as sure as I was then...

We start with, there cannot be much doubt about the CD layer of the SACD "Signature Edition," and that result is repeatable anywhere.


My personal LP that Michael Fremer ripped (and, if an MF rip is not the last word, a huge hole has just been rendered in the space-time continuum) is from 1978 or so, and therefore is fast-n-sharp.

The pre-1973 Brown U. LP I ripped had to be ripped on a very aged Technics turntable inside the library walls, and I have begun to suspect that it was off in some respect.

If I had to write the The Strad LTE again today, I would have said something like, "may be as much as a minute off."

All that said, one thing I have learned in all this is that we are barking up the wrong tree with LPs.

There can be no doubt that in 1969, the Cleveland Orchestra tuned to A = 440Hz, so, the real question is, what happened?

I have toyed with the idea of Kickstarting the search for the original, in-machine Cleveland Dynatrack 8-track masters, but, that's like joining a cult.

90 days of bread and water--for what?

Disappointed donors?

We could not find the tapes?
