  1. It appears that there are several different counterfeit productions of The Beatles Mono Box Set. When I initially checked, my copy didn't have the obvious indicators reported for some of the fake copies, which is why I thought I had a genuine one. However, on further checking, I found that I had one of the more accurately produced counterfeits.
  2. Have been checking the mono box set delivered to me, and have now established that it is in fact a counterfeit item. Enough to fool me initially, but when you go through all of the indicators (I have about 15) it becomes clear what the problem is. Have contacted Amazon, and they are doing the right thing.
  3. First, apologies to Amazon. They did respond to my reply, offering to take the box set back and replace it with a new one. Somehow I missed their e:mail and I found it just now. Second, have checked against the Counterfeit Criteria. Mine has all the hallmarks of the genuine article. However, I can certainly understand that in this digital age, EMI must have a considerable problem with counterfeit copies, especially when they produce the Mono set as a limited run.
  4. I contacted Abbey Road through [email protected] on 28 July 2011. I found their address through googling Abbey Road. Someone (signed only as info) responded promptly and said that they had passed my e:mail on to EMI. The problem is that EMI doesn't give any contact details on its site. No response so far from EMI. I also contacted Amazon about it (from whom I bought the box set). No response from them either. The practical solution, faced with this total lack of response to what is clearly a technical fault with the recording, is for me to buy a new Revolver. But I shouldn't really have to. Anyhow, I don't think that you can buy the Mono CDs individually. Would have to buy the whole box set. Not going to do that!
  5. Have read with great interest Chris Connaker's article dated 24 June 2011 re the CAPS V2.0. I'm a newbie here, as will be evident from my question. I found the logic and explanation relating to the CAPS 2.0 to be compelling, and I'm very interested in that approach. However, the article wasn't explicit on how I would control the server. I am referring to keyboard/mouse/screen. I did see a reference to using an Iphone or Android Gizmo to control/interact with the CAPS 2.0. However, I am not an Apple sort of person. I don't have an Iphone. So my question is should I buy a laptop to control the system, or can I plug a keyboard/mouse/screen into the CAPS 2.0. Sorry if my question is naive. This stuff is all new to this old bloke.
  6. Hi Bill. Thanks for checking it out. No I don't have a good set of cans here at our country place. However, had another stereo nut listen to it today. He agrees that it is very obvious, and overwhelming distortion, such that the CD is really not playable.
  7. Newbie here. Just setting up a new system (CD, Rega Dac, Cambridge Topaz SR10, Paradigm Monitor 7, Paradigm 3100 DSP Sub) and been playing The Beatles Mono box set purchased from Amazon US (the strong A$ makes online purchasing very attractive). Fantastic sound from all of the albums so far listened to, except for Revolver. There is a pulsating foggy/muddy kind of distortion that overwhelms the music. It is especially evident on Here There And Everywhere, but clearly present on each track of the CD. To determine whether it might be some quirk of my system, I tried it out on two different car stereo systems (am out in the bush) but get the same result. Have googled online, but unable to find any reference to this problem. Sent an e:mail to Abbey Road studio (EMI don't give an e:mail contact) and Abbey Road have forwarded my e:mail on to somebody at EMI. Haven't heard back from them yet. Just wondering if anybody else has had any problem of this nature.
