Dear Lou, The "truth" is somewhere between rhythm (concept and performance) of, timing and sound, or a mixture of these. Without rhythm (what was a stern...
Dear Dmitry, One only ask what is this "progress" for. At first we get Richter (and more) CDs with the limited sound information and then the MP3s. There is no...

Dear Lou and group, We are in agreement on most of the mentioned topics. However, a brief history of the CD as a musical carrier might settle some conflicts. ...
