I use to have a B&K EX-442. Very respectable amp. I have an unmodified McCormack 225 in reserve. Got to have a backup in this business.

Brian, remember Paul's re-releasing Let it Be as Let it Be - Naked because of Phil's influence on the original. I own both of those and like "Naked" better.
It'll come down to one's personal choice. |

George Harrison "All Things Must Pass"
50th Anniversary/5lp box
I cleaned lp 1 & 2. Lp 1 was dished so I’m putting on lp 2
I own the original and the 2000 remaster. I won’t be making any comparisons yet. Maybe comments for now? |
Harry Nillson "Knnillsson"
1977/RCA/pp

After listening to lp 2 ("ATMP"), what I felt is each individual instrument is more recognizable on it's on merit. Especially the piano. The whole seams more personal.
There's been so much hype around this release that it kind of messes with your music memory. |
Couldn't help it....put on lp 2 from the original "ATMP", side4. Immediately noticed stronger transients, overall sound seems more open. On "The Art of Dying", the sound on the original seems more like a "rock show", on the 50th, it's more personal. "Isn't it a Pity", Bobby's piano is off to the left and not as prominent as in the latest version. Again, the original mix doesn't seem as personal. I'm beginning to like the new version better, we'll see. The 50th has a warmer overall character which seems to be more appropriate for that period in time. |
Brian,
Just on lp 2, these differences I tried to highlight on my first listen were easy to hear. Listening to the original, on first comparison, showed it's failings to what George, (according to Dhani) was aware of.
Early on.....fun. |
Just read Fremer's (short) review and while I get what he's saying, I don't think he covers all bases, kind of similar to his "Trumpet" review. |
The Be Good Tanyas "Blue Horse" |
OK, I've been a good boy, time to Rock a while....

"ATMP" Lp 1
original
On "Let it Down", all of the instruments are crammed into same space, the center stage. In my room, it’s hard to hear the piano, however when I walked out of the room, the piano was easy to hear.
Overall, as I mentioned earlier, the sound is more open without the warmness of the new version. Cranking this lp up to the max isn’t enjoyable. Too in your face. |
Haley Bonar "Impossible Dream" |
BTW, I've added compressed (can) air into my vinyl regimen. It requires a small learning curve but is very effective. You'll notice this if you have a great LED light focused on your tt. |
