    I get that - in the sense that they are long, high tap number, linear phase filters. It was Jussi who referred to Sinc-L and Sinc-Mx...

    Yes, I've read Jussi's rationale that the apodizing filters correct recording filter artefacts in some content. To be honest I haven't...

    @kingoftown1 I think Sinc-L, LNS15, 1.536Mhz is now my favorite too! Spacious, detailed with great realism and very solid imagery with...
