   Well, eh, it seems there is still an endless discussion....on what is   
   /is not the Hoffman master.   
      
   IMO the final word is not yet spoken on this matter..   
      
   What I do know and what I can confirm is the fact that I possess 2   
   copies of Aja: an early silver CD pressing (1984, bought in 1985) and   
   the Original Master Recording (MFSL Gold Disc).   
      
   I always was convinced that the MFSL sounded different than the early   
   silver one, but does it sounds better then??   
   Then I read about the Hoffman mastering and it confuses me: up 'til now   
   I can't pick the best sounding one among these three versions.   
      
   Anyhow, Aja is and remains a masterpiece.....
