Did I mention the copy I just got of
Beethoven's 9th was masterd by Harry Fisher in 1972? I paid 3 bucks
for it and it is in near mint condition. One can get some of the
best sounding versions of some of the greatest recordings ever made
for dirt cheap if you look out for the right pressings.

The sound quality may be low, but the recordings sure are cheap
enough.

The sound quality isn't low though.

Sure it is. Three words: tic, pop, crackle. Then there's the lack of dynamic
range, high levels of audible distortion, tracing distortion, etc.

Maybe you simply didn't understand what I wrote.

I understand that you wrote about your functional deafness to what people
with normal hearing don't like listening to.
