News to me. I have heard a lot of complaints about recording and
mastering of new material since the introduction of CDs to audio. I
certainly have done my fair share of complaining. I try not to wail

I am unaware of any individuals named Stereophile or TAS. If you are
speaking of the publications then you are palinly mistaken since they
are both made up of individual writers who hold various beliefs on the
subject and freely express those beliefs and opinions.
