The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out. If you want to decode the Stardust carrier with stardust.c, avoid the German Teldec -- DMM cutting heads destroyed the sub-carrier! -- Kirsty Kuznetsov | kkuznetsov@ox.ac.uk PGP Key fingerprint: 0965 227A F303 09FE "Keep the channels open."
