Before diving into these pages of reviews, it is worth noting that discussions about sound quality are subjective opinions of the respective authors. Many websites like to use alpha-numeric grades to give an indication of the sound quality. This website does not because such scales are fundamentally unfair. To assign a number or letter grade for sound quaity implies there is an objective yardstick to measure it by, and that simply is not the case. Every collector has in his or her mind what they think is an enjoyable recording and there is no way to even speak of a way of measuring one’s experience and enjoyment of a tape. Furthermore there are many different kinds of sources and it is unfair to compare them. An excellent audience recording from the sixties will sound fundamentally different than a DAT recording made in the 21st century, and a professional multi-track recording will sound different than a soundboard. When an author judges the sound quality, they are speaking about their specific experience with the tape at the time they are listen to it for a review.
