If you're turning the music up loud and listening carefully, yeah, 
probably. I don't have a very good rig up to record, hifi phono lead 
to the line-in on my sound card. I've a fast computer but still 
sometimes annoyingly 'clicks' (HDD I/O overloads?). Also I 
compress the files to 112Kb/s mp3, to keep the file size 
reasonable. I listen to the music on my laptop or desktop speaker, 
and don't hear anything wrong.

If you're getting a sound worse then LW radio, there's something 
wrong with your setup. Can you try playing on other systems?
Anyone else having problems? quality comments?

I've been listening to this session a lot lately, every now and again a 
Maida Vale set really seems to hit the spot. Witty, good music 
played superbly, reminds me of the Hefner set Aug00 and the Neko 
Case one. I'm looking forward to the new Ballboy stuff now, the up 
tempo tracks were great!
