Re: [ARSCLIST] Pristine Audio and sound quality

[Steven Smolian <smolians@xxxxxxxxx>]

I still claim the Weingartner Beethoven 9th is a successful transfer by 
Pristine when purchased from them where it is in 44.1/16.

I wonder about the accuracy of judgement of quality based on audio 
distributed via the internet.

And, as I'm sure we've all experienced, not all restoration projects are 
equally good even when eminating from the same studio.
