I always thought the same as well, but last year when we had the first Ground Zero and TechnoTourist releases cut, I became a convert (and I think Hans and KJ too). We had the tracks on DAT, listened to them in the cutting studio to determine the final EQ adjustments and they sounded good. Then they were cut and we briefly listened back to the lacquer and our collective jaws dropped in disbelief at how much better, deeper, warmer and groovier the tracks sounded. NSC's magic worked. Not much of an explanation, I admit, but still. Otto
