Hello! I'm completely new to your blog, and I just wanted to express how much I enjoyed my weekend spent listening to your transfers! I absolutely loved them. While I'm far from being an expert, I believe you've achieved something truly remarkable: creating a warm, thoroughly enjoyable sound without straying from the original essence of each recording. One prime example of this is the transfer you've shared, a piece that's often mishandled by many "experts." I'm truly amazed by the sound you've managed to extract from this LP—it's so fluid and naturally "Furtwänglerian." As a Furtwängler enthusiast, I understand the challenges associated with working on such recordings, but you've done an exceptional job.

Thank you so much for bringing joy to us with your generous efforts and hard work. Please, keep it up! Sending greetings from Chile!
