Re: [IRCA] Colin's definition of good audio

[WALTER SALMANIW <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

Interesting, Colin, what each of us deems as "good audio" or "pretty good audio".  To my ear, this rates as fair
audio only....I'd give it a 7/10 according to the Bryant scale.  Way too much splatter to call it good audio to me.  My 
8 would be about that strength, and no or virtually no splatter.  A 9 rates as armchair copy, and I never award
a 10, except for CFAX or Village 900 locally! ........Walt (presently lounging at fabulous Cannon Beach, OR)
