Norman, you need to correct the spelling of "Gemrany" on the label...

Otherwise, it's a great recording...

I am sorry, Curt, but you're too late with that, it's already corrected:

I was sure it wouldn't slip by your careful inspection... nice label.

Yep, I just saw it minutes after I had it out... after all it's 45 minutes to midnight. ;)

That is truly superb work Norman! The sound is excellent!!! Do you use a pressurizer to get out the silicone bubbles on your molds, or do you use that system at all? Excellent job though. It would be very interesting to do the same wear test on another duplicate DD using a Dance or Edisonic reproducer to see if there is a difference! thanks, Marc.

That really is excellent work, Norman. The shade of blue is beautiful and the label is very well done.

Marc, the only way to get sound quality that good is by casting under pressure, but you'll be hard pressed to have anyone else admit it :D
