JA: Online recordings of JGH's "Why HiFi Experts Disagree"?

Posted by hesson11 on June 20, 2017 at 15:31:19:
Hi John,

I've searched for an online recording of this remarkable track, but haven't been able to find one. Do you know if there is one--or would it be possible to post it somewhere (i.e. YouTube or something)?

When I first heard it so many years ago, it was a revelation. I had no idea that different microphones alone could change the sound characteristics so dramatically.

I always wish I could refer people to it on places like, say, guitar forums, where so many people seem to believe the sound of YouTube videos, etc. is an accurate representation of the sound of the guitar. If they were aware of how much different mics could color the sound--let alone the rest of the recording/playback chain--i think they'd have a new attitude toward judging audio online.

Just curious. THANKS
-Bob
