tzh21y, I admit I haven't listened to Deja Vu in a while and not since I've upgraded my TT and other goodies. I just put on the Classic at the normal VTA setting I've found that works best. It sounded somewhat closed in/muffled, the soundstage dramatically lowered from what I normally hear, as if there was a weight on top. I took your advice and raised the VTA. It did improve all of the above. It is very listenable/enjotable now. I still would not say it is a great pressing, especially compared to Crosby's "If I Could Only Remember My Name", but there aren't many lps that sound that good as fjn04 stated above.
I'll relisten to my "couch" lps. Thanks!
