RE: I've covered this subject multiple times at work...

Ed, please, let's come down to reality.

Last year I went to Seattle and plugged my antiquated 1995 Audio Alchemy CD player into Mike Lavgine's multi-hundred-thousand dollar stereo system using cheap Monster Cable and showed him that even he couldn't tell the difference consistently between an LP played on his $75,000 Rockport Sirius III turntable and a CD-R recording of that same LP made with my relatively inexpensive, unmodified Alesis ML-9600 Masterlink CD recorder. Let's face the facts here.

Mike Lavigne selected every LP that I digitally recorded. He knew them intimately because he had played them as demonstration LPs for all his guests for quite some time. He forbid me to change anything in his system except to connect my equipment to his preamp's record output and its auxilary input. The test was conducted by his own Seattle Audio Club members and I wasn't even present in the room. Yet he lost his own challenge.

Check out Mike's system.

Check out the challenge.

Check out the loser.

There must be more to digital than you or Mike claim to know.

Best regards,
John Elison
