Commentics 16 16 I did put the samples back in. I never got direct permission from most labels, but I am confident being within citation rights with this.

My DIY system has now---to my ears---reached that capability, and I am craving more recordings worthy of it. Thanks for your efforts, and I hope you can resume your reviews soon! Give the Dorati/Detroit Petrouskha and Rite a try. They're magical!
