I saw a short review of this in Stereophile this month and it looks very interesting. Talks about timbre or tone as being what the brain reconizes or identifies when remembering music.Maybe when 'we' say "soul" when discussing music we mean timbre or tone.
I have some thoughts on the 'truth' of the sound of the DL-103 coming from timbre/tone. It is just that the strokes are broad with the conical stylus.

Follow Ups:
I think how young you where, when you where subjected to a eclectic source of music styles, has an influece on how you preceive music ( ie. tones ) as an adult. My mother listened to all kinds of stuff on PBR ( like improvisational jazz, early 60s ) & I'd say to my self, " what the hell is she listening to, it sounds like a bunch of jumbled notes to me. A few years later she can't understand what I'am listening to, but I can understand what she was. Does that make sense?
the writing's all over the Map; while there are a handful of interesting insights there's also w-a-y too much name dropping " I met so-and-so and they said such-and-such " and there are way, way, (WAY!) too many unsubtantiated claims eg:"Americans spend more money on music than they do on Sex"
$$ amounts culled from some insider in the Sex industry? Does that include condoms and escort services? Does this include Servicemen abroad paying for it? Or just within the 48 States?
Save your money, this book could be condensed into 1 or 2 mildly amusing chapters otherwise it's an poorly edited attempt padded with slightly-above-amateur fluff
Thumbs Down

Huh-- poorly edited, slightly-above-amateur fluff, writing's all over the map and way, way, way too many unsubstantiated claims ....Sounds a lot like Vinyl Asylum™, actually.
