BTW the B & W 802s are Musical ****.

Well, if you think all cds sound bad, then their reputation as classical
music monitors isn't a plus!

I listened to the first mvmt of the Koncertstucke and I think the re-eq
is sincere. The solo horns probably sound more like what it's like to be
near real horns (really near!) than the raw tape, but at the cost of
integrity in a recording that didn't have much to spare.

Losing the high end to eliminate tape hiss is a nose-spite-face deal.
How does it help harmonic balance to eliminate those higher partials?

I only eliminated the partials that were boosted by the guy who
mastered the 3 3/4 open reel

Well, the shoe's on the other foot now. How do *you* know what the
source material really was?

Because I know what instruments sound like and the capabilities of
mics and tape decks. If record companies presented flat recordings
there would be a revolt. Look at thre **** I am gettting. It is
unfortunate that by coincidence my mp3s of the week featured poor
sources.

Believe me, whatever "Music" was on that open reel, I found it.
