Mat Test Will Include Original 96/24 File As "Baseline" Reference

Thanks to an analogplanet.com reader's excellent suggestion, the blind mat test will include the original 96/24 file from which the Chasing the Dragon LP was cut. Recording engineer and label owner Mike Valentine was kind enough to send the original file of the Vivaldi "Concerto For Two Mandolins" that was used for the mat recordings.

In addition, Mr. Valentine told me that next week he's recording a direct to disk performance of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons". For more information go to the label's website. A review of the excellent LP demo disc will appear here soon.

In other news, the XLF tweeters survived the sonic assault (whew!).

Now if we could only find similar real baselines for evaluating all those other pesky choices in life. (Yes, I did use the word "real", for all the obvious reasons.)
