has been from CD to lossless digital, assuming it's available.
As far as recent listening...
Ital Tek - Massive Error ep
Boxcutter - Arecibo Message
Jamie Vexd - In System Travel ep
Bibio - Ambivalence Avenue
Tortoise - Beacons of Ancestorship
Svarte Greiner - Kappa
Legiac - Mings Feaner
School of Seven Bells - Alpinisms
Risil - Non Meters Vol. 1
Kettel - Myam James Part 2
