There's no such thing as an "EQ meter"....stunod.

Dolby means less than nothing- the CD, SACD, and DVD-A formats don't
even use it- how important can that be ? snip

ROFLMAO! You seem to work hard to make yourself look stupid, don't
you? Dolby Noise Reduction is an ANALOG system designed to reduce
TAPE HISS....you know ugats, don't you....stunod?

considering that reel, 8-track, and cassette are all dead meat now
anyway, what's it matter ? the smart money is on choosing the best
tape format based on the build specs, not only the tech sheet- i.e. 8-
track sounds better than cassette, Elcaset will sound better than
either, the only improvement would be open reel at 7.5 IPS or faster

get a load of that 15 IPS, 2-track setup- now that's a cooking with
gas, take no prisoners tape format, if ever there was one ! snip

Duh...that's the standard recording industry standard, and has been
since around 1951. I have three Ampex machines that use that format.
The BEST mastering format is ½" 2 track, and has been since the '50s.
Most "garbage" rock/pop albums, however, were mastered on ¼" tape.
Groups and artists more concerned with fidelity (and whose masters
have been rereleased on digital formats) had theirs done on ½".

You really are a stunod.
