u/JP-2014

Found this Massive Attack poster while cleaning out my attic. I honestly can’t remember how I got it. It's in A3 format. Could it have come with an album?

Does anyone know anything about it?

I recently wrote a blog about the Philips LHH300R, one of the more interesting later models from the Philips LHH Reference series.

Introduced in Japan in 1995, it sat below the rare LHH900R, but it carried much of the same design thinking. The LHH300R used the DAC7/DF7 Bitstream architecture, a fully Non-NFB analog stage, balanced outputs and a heavily built copper-plated chassis.

To me, the LHH300R shows a very specific moment in Philips and Marantz Japan history, when engineers were still trying to make CD playback sound less mechanical and more natural.

For anyone interested, the full article goes into the history, technical design and role of the LHH300R within the LHH Reference series:
