    Michael Fremer has a kickstarter going where he will have Kevin Gray create both ADA and AAA masters of a project and then have both sides pressed at Acoustic Sounds where you will be able to buy the record. The label will not tell you which side is which so you will have to decide for yourself with the idea being to see if we can tell the difference between a pure analog production and one with digital inserted into the chain.

    I tossed in my $10 as I find these sorts of tests to be very interesting and I hope he gets enough funding to make it happen hence why I am posting it here in the hopes you guys agree. :)

    I'm in as well. Maybe I'll have a bunch of Bay Area people over for a listen. Maybe the December meet if it ships quick enough.

    I'm in. I'm fascinated by the concept of the test. Hopefully by then I'll have a good enough TT \/

    You don't need to wait for this to have some fun. Just see if you can consistently ABX an ADC to DAC thrown into matched analog chain versus the chain without the ADC and DAC level matched.

    I'd be in in a heartbeat, but can't stand the music. It's like sitting in a dentist's chair.

    We're still at it and very interested in new releases. The key word being new. Times have changed. The old fogies who sneered at non-Classical are dying. Literally. They're replaced by middle-aged guys like me who grew up on Rock 'n Roll. The audiophile industry, still dominated by the old guard, doesn't always get that.
