| Classic Records vs. Analogue Productions Whart, if you're referring to RCA Shaded Dog originals versus the 45rpm reissues from Classic Records and Analogue Production, my experience is that there is no comparison - the 45rpm reissues are just so much better. I've listened to a few of the... | |
| Classic Records vs. Analogue Productions Without looking at samples of each, it's not possible to say for sure. But there is no reason they'd need to be different. My guess is that they are the same. Analogue Productions bought all of the assets of Classic Records and so has the stampers... | |
| Classic Records vs. Analogue Productions I am curious if it is worth to get 2x 45 AP when I have 4x 45 180g from Classic. All I can offer to this is that I am not replacing any of my 4-sided RTI pressing for the new QRP 2-sided pressings. Two reasons: 1) too much other really good music ... | |
| Classic Records vs. Analogue Productions Milimetr, just a few thoughts about which you may already be aware:The Classic Records 45rpm classical music releases are significantly better sounding than the earlier 33s were. This is largely due to changes in Bernie Grundman's mastering chain ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Correction to the above... Wilkinson's work for Lyrita was apparently not freelance. Lyrita contracted with Decca for their recordings (as did RCA and Readers Digest) and Lyrita's owner, Richard Itter, always requested Wilkinson to engineer the re... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Russ, I absolutely agree about the Malcolm Arnold English Dances, Lyrita SCRS 109. Wilkie nailed this one. It is one of 2 or 3 most natural and accurate representations of a full orchestra in my collection. When people want to understand soundstag... | |

| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings Another recommendation for a DG orchestral recording that sounds very good is the Stravinsky Violin Concerto, with Ozawa, Boston Symphony, and Perlman. 2531 110DG seemed to use entirely different groups of engineers for their chamber music recordi... | |

| Walker Audio Extreme SST Lacee, the "magic" oil one can use to refresh a jar of E-SST if it begins drying out is canola oil. But only a couple or three drops. Canola oil is NOT the base used by Walker Audio in manufacturing E-SST, but Lloyd says to use it SPARINGLY to ref... | |
| Surreal Speakers: Made to order in Virginia, USA Lewinskih01,"Do you think the improved imaging - a key design goal in my case - is driven by being a point source more than being time-aligned?"In my experience, time alignment, phase and point source are factors in getting great imaging from a se... | |
| Surreal Speakers: Made to order in Virginia, USA Lewinskih01, time alignment is certainly one benefit of the single driver. Another is that it is truly a point source for all of the sound beyond 135 hz - imaging is very precise. The AER drivers are very well made - expensive, but you're getting ... |
