This is great!

Paul - I'll badger you (again!) about this:

MP3 SUCKS ASS. 

It can make analog sound like VA. I think it would be very cool to offer at
least 16/44.1 audio files in the demo section of the website. A lot of the
majesty and power gets lost in the mp3 compression imho. It works ok for
auditioning songs to see if you like a new artist / album, but as a
manufacturer, you really wanna show off how thick/ creamy/ aggressive/
powerful/ etc the MOTM line is for potential customers and the curious, and
you're doing it using the most piss-poor medium available. OK, the 2nd most
piss-poor after RealAudio... It seems out of sync with the positioning of
your product line, which appeals to the upper-most crust. I would expect
mp3's from Doepfer. From MOTM, I would expect 24/96 AIF's! But at least CD
quality...

Just food for thought - again! ;-) I know I've buggered you about this
before but it's been a while.

best,
- Scott
