@mofimadness ,

Good to hear. I have the original MFSL and am very disappointed with that pressing.

@mofimadness,

I’ve been turned off too many times lately with the SQ of MFSL vinyl. What’s your experience?

I have the DCC of  "Court and Spark" in addition to her latest Archive releases.

I appreciate your honest answer. I bought the last two Simon & Garfunkel releases on vinyl.....thought they were less dynamic and energetic than my best pressings of those lps from the era. Also from my personal experience, the pressing quality on One -Steps have been less than good. ( A very conservative evaluation). Like you, I don't care how we get to a great end result as long as it is consistent quality.

I was able to return Bookends because of the poor pressing quality, had too swallow "Bridge" since it just sounded involving 

David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name"

50th Anniversary/Atlantic 

 

The Rolling Stones "Goat’s Head Soup"

50th Anniversary/dbl lp edition

@paqua123 ,

Heavy weight vinyl records supposedly provide a more damped product for hopefully increased listener received information. I have Dynaflex lps that sound great.

One title that was originally released on Dynaflex vinyl that is still highly regarded is Hot Tuna "Recorded Live at the New Orleans, Berkeley House.

Sarah Harmer "Oh Little Fire"

2010/Cold Snap Records 

....goes with the Canadian artist vibe 

Played that copy of Lightfoot recently @mofimadness . It’s a great/sounding lp.

I actually watched a documentary about him on Prime recently. Highly recommended.
