It would appear that there is no such thing as lying in this business, just a difference of opinion, usually to protect future sales potential.

I think today you can buy very cheaply, a virtually unused pair of audio receptors, previously owned by an audio sales and marketing exec.

As far as "Karajan Ma Vlast" goes it is preceded on the album by an acceptable version of Dvorak 9, IMHO the Smetana album filler should be considered as CICO.

MQA is not a cure all.
