Robert,Many thanks for the clear exposition of the technicalities to consider in making what is on the face of it such a simple choice. I however disagree that the points being considered here, as both you and Romy seem to suggest, only ought to be c...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Try slowly removing from your perception of concept of Audio Neutrality, substituting it with Event Recreation Neutrality. You might discover eventually that a Recreative Really has a very strong cross-expressive bound an...
