I just read the article. Let's see what Arny cut
(all quotes from the article, so I'm not messing
with quotation marks):

A real live Sontec or Massenberg Parametric EQ
unit can set you back 9 grand....

Deceptive out-of context quote noted, Here's the
context:

"So, we use graphic EQ's to tailor the sound of our
playback systems, and we use Parametric EQ's to
tailor the sound of our music. Right? Now, you have
a good point in which to start. Download (if you
can) some parametric EQ programs. A real live
Sontec or Massenberg Parametric EQ unit can set
you back 9 grand.... "

Note that the following was intentionally and
deceptively removed:

"Now, you have a good point in which to start.
Download (if you can) some parametric EQ programs."

There was no deception, Arns.

Normal people do not have their systems hooked into
a PC.

By implication, Steve Hoffman disagrees. He
specfically recommended downloading EQ programs.

By implication, Hoffman is suggesting one uses the
computer to learn how to tailor an eq, then use this
new skill on the regular system.

Works for me. I

I just wish his "lift points" coincided with my ITunes
eq.
The interview must be rather old: Hoffman rejects
digital eqs.

Let's not get into Hoffman's hang-ups with digital.

His living is predominantly digital mastering and is an
enthusiatic supporter of hi-rez formats.

IOW, Hoffman makes money when he convinces people that
44/16 has inherent audible difficulties.

Yeah, that is why he is one of the pre-eminent CD
masterers, right Arny?

Think that Hoffman charges the same for mastering both CD and HiRez formats?
Think he faces similar competive pressures no matter which format the job
is?
