Ernestine Anderson-Big City(CJ 214) Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Dusted off 3 more unplayed albums! Brahms was great as expected but that WH 1045 just missed the SQ crown. The Jamboree gets tossed. Concord takes another SQ crown with 5* content. Played Rosenberger since I mentioned her in another thread. Foghat-Live just missed my Top Ten live Pop/Rock 70's list. Falls somewhere between 11-15.

Thanks man! Golden Hour is ready good, you should check it out.
|
@slaw
can't say, I haven't heard Golden Hour. I liked Deeper Well. Some songs seemed to be redundant but, hey, got to fill a record. There is a track on side 2 that they effed up recording and still made it on the record but other than that really enjoyed it.

How does Deeper Well compare to Golden Hour?

Boston-ST(Trauggot vs Zentz) Side 1+2
Knocked out 5 unplayed albums! Ramsey Lewis was clearly the best of the unplayed! Allen vs. Wally was close. Zentz had the claimed excessive treble energy but more dynamic/open with better note decay. Traugott was better balanced with deeper bass and tonality but lacking engagment on some tracks when compared to Zentz. Overall I slightly favor the Wally mastering for its tonality but neither are close to Audiophile SQ status. Both copies were VG/VG+ so far from perfect. Maybe the CBS Half/Speed is the definitive version.

It's not 'tonight', but Jean-Luc Ponty 'Aurora' right now. Sounds great! You can always rely on Ponty for excellent production value.
