Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed - 50th Anniversary just released on MQA - Tidal HiFi

I don’t know if my hearing can discern MQA files as "better", but "Monkey Man" kicked a-- thru my 1970 Olson receiver via BSR table during my youth.

Sounds even better now, that I have an original press and a decent rig 40 some years later!

Turn it up!

My table is mothballed for the moment.

I popped in my old ABKO CeeDee, which hasn't seen action for quite some time. Keefs acoustic guitar on"Let it Bleed" sounds convincingly(close enough)real,IMHO. Micks vocals in sections, "are there"

I can play along with my guitar and it blends in pretty good. Even the electric guitars throughout the album, at times sound pretty good. Only the very fine, subtle dynamics are missing.That's  where a REAL nice digital system grabs my attention. Maybe this is where a MQA file might prevail?  Or is it speakers, cable...fuse?

I've heard ultimo digital playing Stones, and then there's my humble setup. My ears still like an imperfect record. Perhaps it's just my overly nostalgic silliness talkin.

I've heard many Lumin  based rigs, so I can imagine it's rockin.

From Beggars to Exile,  there isn't one flat tune.  I could put those 4 albums on 
random and not get sick of the Stones.

Impossible to listen,at low volume. It's not proper until Charlie Watts bass drum compresses your chest.

Bravo! Grazie mille! I will bring some regional prosciutto and cheese, if I'm ever in the neighborhood.

Cycling thru Northern Italy many years ago, is how I was turned on to Barolo. Old Italian guys on bikes inviting me for dinner with the family.
