@sbank its interesting. It’s more transparent and revealing of small detail but less atmospheric. It loses some midrange richness and liquidity from the original. Soundstage is deeper with better separation but there is definitely more treble. So, I’m glad to have it but, on this, perhaps more than on any other record we listen for The tone of the bass in its upper registers and harmonics. Jaco baby. And I think the emotion of that comes through stronger on my OP. |
@bslon take action on @slaw’s PM!
@spiritofradio James how’s the ORG Heavy Weather vs. OG?
@mammothguy54 Gorgeous! Please tell us everything... @slaw Coexist good music, poor SQ...not worth the cost of vinyl except awesome die-cut cover if you care. Stream it. |
1. Royal Ballet Chad edition. Yes, this is one you want. 2. Kna conducting the Vienna Philharmonic in Wagner. Gotterdammerung Dawn and Siegfried’s Rhine Journey. Siegfried’s Funeral Music. Tristan Prelude and Liebestod. Decca Japan GT 9088. First time hearing a record reproduce the Viennese. * Same bleeding chunks as on Sheffield’s direct to disk with Leinsdorf and the LA Phil that was the go to demo disk in the last century. ** Birgit Nilsson soprano.
There they are in their home stadium The Golden Hall, Vienna. These records leave spectacular so far behind in the rear view mirror and make the quantum leap into the realm of pure music. Bravo Decca! |
@mammothguy54 +1 Congrats on your speaker purchase. I’m in the process of upgrading my current speakers. I hope the manufacturers realize the time/effort and emotional involvement required in purchasing the most difficult(flawed)audio component. |
@mammothguy54 If I remember you were considering the Apollo 11 or Poseidon. Those are 125lbs, I hope you have some help! Way cool either way, enjoy! |
