>From my Crown IC-150A preamp manual:

"The work of two research teams has been widely accepted throughout the
audio field. The findings of Fletcher and Munson (1933) has been used as a
basis for loudness compensation for many years. More recently, the I.S.O.
(International Standards Organization) has accepted the work of a second
team, Robinson and Dadson (1956), as being more accurate. As a result, the
trend in the audio industry is to use the I.S.O. curves as a basis for
loudness compensation."

My Crown equipment has worked flawlessly for 8 years, but would anyone
choose Crown today?
