What I *really* hate are things like on some DG opera

music CDs, but have done so with some of these.
Hi Fons,
In the 1960s American Decca damned near ruined the releases of Andres
Segovia by pouring a bucket of reverb on the pseudo-stereo recordings.
Thankfully I got hold of the European recordings and enjoyed the
Maestro's works without the faked "castle hall" ambience.
Reverb is a witchy effect.
And btw, jconv is very cool. I've been using it from Guitarix these
days, lots of fun.
Best,
