Vol. IV No. 3

In recent issues of Stereophile magazine, Art Dudley states that most new vinyl releases are in fact digitally processed versions.  Therefore, caveat emptor.  Use microscope to verify any suspect vinyl's provenance.  He also quotes an industry insider who says "jaws drop" for many audiophiles who hear 15 ips magnetic tape versions for the first time.  He refers to the Tape Project, a group trying to implement a 15 ips, 1/4" magnetic tape standard for a broad consumer market.  I feel obligated to mention that my sound-on-film system will be much better still, particularly since it will use the same transducers for record and playback.
