| mystery muffled mids Honestly even with the better records pressing of zep 1, not all of the songs sound that great! Some do, but not all. Communication breakdown is muffled imo. I would certainly NOT call any zeppelin album, no matter what pressing, audiophile materi... | |

| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" The distance from back wall is bunk..at least Fremer thinks so, I tend to agree. If the recording does not have much depth, then there is none. However, there are some recordings that contain such. | |
