Happened to listen to Bridge over Troubled Waters cd this weekend (and other S&G stuff) and thought it was surprisingly well recorded and sounding. Not all tracks though. The joy with a fine system is to hear it all, even the bad parts. I mean it is a studio product. Didn't listen to them as young so have no nostalgia here. If you want to hear what is possible to create in a studio today try Sierra Hull and the above mentioned Sarah.
"Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial
During the pandemic I've been upgrading my sound system. I used to enjoy Simon & Garfunkel, "Bridge Over Trouble Water". With my upgraded equipment the hi resolution audio sounds very synthetic, with one track on top of another, not like real music at all. The voices are doubled and violins just layered on top. On my same system, I played a live concert of Andre Previn playing Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". It sounded real and beautiful, like a live performance. Am I doing something wrong?
