Analogue Productions has been reissuing many of the RCA Living Stereo titles. I have a hybrid SACD of Scheherazade and it’s down right fantastic given that it was recorded in the late 1950’s.I have hybrid SACD of Scheherazade and listen it on CD. I don't have SACD player. It sounds great: https://youtu.be/trdFb6zO9OA I hope they will do more classical music reissue on vinyl. Most of late 1950 classical records were recorded very well because they used simple 2-3 microphone technique and relatively simple tube equipment. The problem was a proper microphone placement and good hall acoustics. Later records from end of 1960x used multi microphone technique, sophisticated transistor equipment and Dolby tape recorders. Signal pass became longer in number of times. As result microdynamics was killed and tone of instruments became more artificial. The music hаll atmosphere is more artificial too. Regards, Alex |

My experience with the Acoustic Sound Series. Despite sound not bad, most of titles have some grain. I don't know what is it the problem mastering equipment or the conditions of master tapes? The best Acoustic Sound Series sounding title is Getz/Gilberto. It has a real analogue sound smooth and transparent without any grain and roughness. I have a number of old Verve records remastered on CD. And most of them sound very good. I also have a number of original old Verve records and most of them sound smooth but a little bit dull (if you compare them to other jazz labels from 1955 to 1964). |
