Many highly sought-after "88.2kHz/24-bit" files originating in 2007 are elite vinyl rips of pristine original pressings (like the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab MFSL 2-200 or the original 1979 UK first pressing).

What's new in the 2nd Edition?
Since publication of the first edition, the main change, largely brought about by COVID and lockdowns, was a shift towards using remote UX research methods. So in this edition, we have added six new essays on the topic. Two essays describe the “how” of planning and conducting remote methods, both moderated and unmoderated. We also include new essays on test participants, on survey questions, and we reveal how your choice of UX research methods may reflect your own epistemological biases. We also flag the pitfalls of remote methods and include a cautionary essay on why they should never be the only UX research method you use.
