Robert Brook has a blog which he calls
A GUIDE FOR THE DEDICATED ANALOG AUDIOPHILE
With a bit of guidance from yours truly, Robert Brook has carried out some interesting experiments involving the electricity that feeds his stereo. These are his findings.
Robert has approached the various problems he’s encountered in the world of audio and records by being extremely methodical and rigorous, along these three fronts:
- Improving his equipment,
- Teaching himself how to do a better job of dialing in his turntable setup, and
- Learning how to do controlled shootouts for his favorite albums.
Everyone reading this blog can learn a lot from the work he’s done in these three areas and more besides.
More on Robert’s system here. You may notice that it has a lot in common with the one we use. This is clearly not an accident.
And it is also no accident that these two systems just happen to be very good at showing their owners the manifold shortcomings of the modern remastered LP, as well as the benefits to be gained by doing shootouts in order to find dramatically better sounding pressings to play.
