| The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth The surprising thing about the "white hot stamper" is, the rating doesnt mean noise free!$500 for ticks/stitches of a Jimi Hendrix AYE or Steely Dan CTE?I guess the noise must be part of the experience?! Will someone report back on their time with... | |
| The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth Tom Port's business is discussed here, Steven Hoffman and others.Whether of not his copy of Steely Dan's Aja is worth $500, is up to the buyer.
