[78-L] Cambridge Process

[Malcolm Smith]

This raises an interesting point. Collectors who have spent a great  
deal of time listening to acoustic records end up with trained ears  
that benefit from the fact that except for echo, size of the horn and  
distance from the horn, the sound doesn't vary very much. Electric  
records are all over the map so the same ear training doesn't help  
very much. I've copied and sound processed records and find myself  
tending to be very conservative with the acoustic records for this  
reason. This isn't to suggest that this would be appropriate for  
commercial issues that are listened to by people who do not have  
'trained ears'.
