What is actually the best way of recording the sounds we desire to hear? That’s the very question we muse over in this issue. Is it half-speed mastering? Should it be at 33 or 45rpm? Should it be truly analogue or in reality is digital better? Neville Roberts sits in on a recording session especially set up to test these theories. We’ve even put some recorded samples online so you can have a listen yourself and decide your preference.

Elsewhere in the issue there’s a six-way Group Test of top wireless speakers, news of tons of ace new kit in our Audiofile section, plus an homage to the mighty Black Sabbath who sound pretty good to me any old way you choose to blast ‘em. Plenty to enjoy...
