Vinyl audiophilia in the New York Times


I enjoyed this article in today's Times.

Some of the discussed topics mirror those discussed here, esp as regards the subjectivity of sound quality.

Thoughts?

Further to my above comment, I will say, that when Chad compared (demoed) the original 50s/60s recordings (on vinyl) with the new remastered pressings, I generally preferred the older records. I have a solid collection of originals and many are my preferred listening material. If you know, you know.

I had the pleasure of sitting in on a comprehensive demo of AS remasters with Chad some years ago in New York.

Sweet article. I had the pleasure of sitting in on a comprehensive demo of AS remasters with Chad some years ago in New York.
