I hate how SHites use "our host" when they want to shut somebody down, express their tastes, cite an authority, or simply nuzzle his nutsack. Just a random sample, there are literally millions...
I didn't know Hoofer had his own prog rock band or was a jazz flautist or pitched for the Chicago Cubs. Yes on all three!!!
Fucking CPR won't put any life into those.
I hope the Pixies corner scotto in a dark Boston alley and kick the living shit out of him.
No price is to high when Steve has a hand in it. Just ask Audio Fidelity.
(sberger's comment is in answer to the thread starter, who asked "why?" after Steve Hoffman barged in to say "Possibly the worst SH Forums thread title for the month of November.")
Heh heh, Bevis, heh, did he just say like "our host has lifelike wind" heh heh, heh Is that, like, farting? heheheh heh heh
Ever ask your Host about his days on the Sunset Strip with Kim Fowley and John Oteri...?
Who can resist more Jim Croce? Incidentally, there is another name that hasn't managed to outlive the baby boomers. I remember in the late 70's, he was still remembered as one of the great losses of a heavyweight, on par with Otis Redding, if not Janis and Jimi and Jim. Who ever thinks of him now? He's about as forgotten as Harry Chapin now.

Steve Hoffman, man of principle.
houston wants Steve to finish the Peter Paul and Mary ceedee that Hoofer himself started the thread to brag about. Right now!
I don't need any more than this quote to confidently state that starkiller has done nothing but lose in life.
If you mean that it will change directly into vapor when heated, I agree.
Your host will even sell you stuff, pal.
I hope George Gershwin corners Steve in a dark alley in Boston and kicks the shit out of him.
The anal retention is so intense there that the whole place reeks of shit.
Please! You Doubting Thomases are really starting to upset me! Our host speaks Absolute Truth.
Wisely.
Disraeli Gears is talking about fucking Mannheim Steamroller.
More like Incesticide, if I may borrow a pun from a newer, more relevant band than Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Yes, even if you have absolutely no fucking need for this, buy it anyway. And I am proud to say that Our Host and I have something in common.
Is "vacuum tubes" what the kids call vicodin these days?
Steve Hoffman = Rastaman!
Oh shut up.
Listen pal, you just crossed the line criticizing a record our host worked on. Pages and pages prove you are stupid. Written by smart guys like us...

Not including our host,is Steve Wilson the best out there?I didn't know Hoofer had his own prog rock band or was a jazz flautist or pitched for the Chicago Cubs. Yes on all three!!!

As much as I'd love to hear our host give the ABBA back catalogue his famed "breath of life" treatment, I'm far more interested to know what he could do with ELO's albumsFucking CPR won't put any life into those.

Our host is in a movie, sort of. Watched Kicking and Screaming last night, Noah Baumbach’s first film, from 1995, and was delighted to hear Mr. Hoffman's "Cecilia Ann" (as performed by The Pixies) in the opening scene.I hope the Pixies corner scotto in a dark Boston alley and kick the living shit out of him.
If you follow our host's advice and buy the Atlantic CDs I highly recommended the Original Album Series 5CD set. I got mine at B&N for $7 but would definitely pay more, its that good!

sberger said:
Because relatively few know what "447" refers to. Better would be "Nice Article On the Shure M44-7", so when people search(not just here, but on the internet) they'll have an easier time finding this thread. Our host is pretty picky about this, and I for one agree with him.changeling said:
This recording benefits from that lifelike wind that our host is known for, yet it was well worth it's price and I'm happy 
Heh heh, Bevis, heh, did he just say like "our host has lifelike wind" heh heh, heh Is that, like, farting? heheheh heh heh
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Our Host is probably looking for something other than "what's hot and not".

Well, the 50th Anniversary, which I believe was mastered by our host, is excellent if you want a bit more. Who can resist more Jim Croce? Incidentally, there is another name that hasn't managed to outlive the baby boomers. I remember in the late 70's, he was still remembered as one of the great losses of a heavyweight, on par with Otis Redding, if not Janis and Jimi and Jim. Who ever thinks of him now?

Just because someone else has a different preference - even if it is our host - doesn't mean that one person is right or wrong.foobar2000 said:
True, but our host is telling us to leave if we don't share his preferences: stevehoffman.tv/forums/showpost.php?p=6007812&postcount=46

Remasters are not "generally a bad thing here". The namesake of this site, our host, is a remastering engineer... he has built his career and reputation on remastering. His work is highly praised here (obviously) as is the work of others like him with similar principles.Steve Hoffman, man of principle.
houston said:
I hope our Host is posting during a lunch break :confused: houston wants Steve to finish the Peter Paul and Mary ceedee that Hoofer himself started the thread to brag about. Right now!
starkiller said:
Looking forward to hearing these...i am a big fan of "new age" stuff and with our host mastering how can i lose?:goodie:I don't need any more than this quote to confidently state that starkiller has done nothing but lose in life.
Pancraft said:
Crosby, Stills and Nash 'couch album ' debut by our host is sublime.If you mean that it will change directly into vapor when heated, I agree.
Simon A said:
I know you will have fun here! Lots of great people and our Host is quite generous to offer us the opportunity to be members here.Your host will even sell you stuff, pal.
john greenwood said:
Our host is especially critical of the stereo "Gershwin Songbook." I hope George Gershwin corners Steve in a dark alley in Boston and kicks the shit out of him.

I say our host is going to be on your case for not having the artists' names in the thread titleThe anal retention is so intense there that the whole place reeks of shit.

You guys keep theorizing and theorizing with more and more bizarre results. Mr. Hoffman knows because Mr. Hoffman spoke to Mr. Ricker about this subject. He assures us that the simplest explanation is the absolute truth (MSFL made their records from EMI's LP masters) and yet the last posting goes on and says that Mr. Hoffman doesn't really know! Please! Our host is at the heart of this business and has always spoken the absolute truth on this board.Please! You Doubting Thomases are really starting to upset me! Our host speaks Absolute Truth.
Sordel said:
Our Host is on record as disliking remixes per se but he has wisely refrained from using these forums as a bully pulpit to slag off the work of other industry professionals.Wisely.
Disraeli Gears said:
Our host is the masterer on this new release. I think we all know that he will make this release worth listening to, as he has on many titles in the past. I'm an AF collector. I look at the line as specially-curated music selections by Mr Hoffman. In addition to a technical role he plays in mastering many of these titles into listenability, he is also a "creative director" so to speak. He's curator of the line and has turned me onto many new bands/sounds. If he thinks something is worth listening to, he's got the benefit of the doubt at this point 
Disraeli Gears is talking about fucking Mannheim Steamroller.
johnny 99 said:
It is very cool that our host is involved in mastering contemporary/current recordings by terrific/important/talented and relevant artists of our time (Red Hot Chili Peppers/White Stripes) New adventures in Hi-Fi indeed! Thank you!More like Incesticide, if I may borrow a pun from a newer, more relevant band than Red Hot Chili Peppers.
cjp said:
If you are a serious Ella fan (I am, I know our host is), I would recommend this even if you have, somehow, a completely mint original pressing.Yes, even if you have absolutely no fucking need for this, buy it anyway. And I am proud to say that Our Host and I have something in common.
WPLJ said:
However, our host is working on a boxed set of the first six Doors albums in their ORIGINAL mixes, apparently to be mastered on all vaccuum tube gear. :)righton:) I would think that these would be more than worth waiting for.Is "vacuum tubes" what the kids call vicodin these days?
echo said:
Our host is a big reggae fan, but it's allready a long time since his last reggae projects... Steve Hoffman = Rastaman!
Ive many times said our host is right...the differences between media are very small and noticable for sure...and its the mastering that makes THE REAL DIFFERENCE.
Oh shut up.
Pages and pages on this very forum talking about how the recent Rumours reissue (by KG and our host) is the definitive version... So bad example there.
Listen pal, you just crossed the line criticizing a record our host worked on. Pages and pages prove you are stupid. Written by smart guys like us...
