I completely agree with Dave and Lou.

Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] help us select A/D and phono preamp for an upcoming LP project?
I want to add my vote to Davbe's. Use a good cart and preamp first or all comparisons of thje digital end are invalid.
But I am unable to dowload the files! I tried the WAV and also the FLAC and each foiled more than halfway through the "all files" download. I am routinely able to download large files, so I don't think the problem is on my end.
I usually get single files form, your site, but with 20 files to compare, I wanted to get them all in one folder. Anyone else having problems with this?
