Presumabyl, billshurv meant that Holman didn't compile the velocity informations himself but used informations from Shure, and as billshurv suspect kind of exaggeration on Shure's side.......
The information about the "cymbal crash" came from Hadaway (db systems) who measured the numbers from the record.
Surely not on continuos operation but IIRC according to the Neumann literature the newer cutter heads (at least) could do slightly above 100cm/s on toneburst at normal speed (with cooling of course).
I’d take Furtwangler over that any day and that’s saying something coming from me.

Indeed. Glass of port, some French cheeses and a few very good vinyls and I’m set for an evenings entertainment.
Harry Connick Jnr vinyl arriving a bit later. Looking forward to that.
Yes. But it need training.
I have several friend that have better at listening than me.
I need longer time to "understand" the sound differences.
We have slightly different ability of hearing, but the brain must be train, to focus and improve pattern recognition.
I just might have to buy the last (or close to last) album Stan Ricker cut. I wimped and got the CD. Stan reported he broke a cutter head trying to get the transients in.

But it was originally recorded on a revox A77 (as it much wonderful music on the BIS label at the time), so meh went for the CD for half the price and all the dynamics.

It was a meta study where all the available information was pulled into to one document. This informed his EQ amp design wrt overload capability, GD and A few other things.

Ah, I see. But what's interesting here? Anything less than an order of magnitude or two is only interesting if you're dragging a rock down a plastic groove; then you're concerned.
But not by the difference between +20VU and +30VU. Both are simply beyond our daily life experiences and our first reactions don't matter.
I don't understand the reference to Shure. They're not some modern corporate raiders - they did the work, they flew the flag as long as it could be flown, they built phono cartridges as long as they could, as a biz. No hating needed IMO.
All the best fortune for us all,

Ordered the CD - £128 for the vinyl would require a lot of justification. I have some nice medieval stuff on CD that I haven’t played for a few months.
Closely connected with Scottish, Irish, Cornish, Manx, Breton......as one of the original British languages, the Welsh are rightfully proud of their language and it's survival of English oppression. Depending on the region it can sound very beautiful, particularly in the more rural areas of the north, and the intonation carries well into spoken English too.
Basically all the old Celtic languages - I understand there were many dialects which was to be expected since as a culture the Celts ranged over an area about as large as the 1/3 of the continental USA.
Chris: No hating, but some of the numbers cause a raised eyebrow. No one ever bothered to check their numbers and they generally only appeared in advertising print. All suggests there might be some harmless fun trying to replicate?
Might be the way for me to re-rip my CD’s into FLAC. My music files are all over the place.

Particularly the more "educated" ones (I sound like a snob now 🙂) some of the younger generation seem to be sounding more East Coast (NY?) American, which, personally speaking, I just want to run far away from 😉
