Whats on your turntable tonight?

From the beginning, the Mono lp sounds compressed/muffled by comparison. This is really surprising to me. But, I really don’t have a lot of experience with the Beatles records. The BB lp sounds open and current.

The bass is almost non-existent on either. Ringo may have taken a day off??? ha ha.

This is really an awakening for me. I had no expectation of such a difference.

So for ultimate disclosure, I'm using my SoundSmith Sussurro MkII on both records with the mono switch on the phono-pre-amp.

Enough comparisons for this day.

Tom Petty "Hypnotic Eye"  the Chris Bellman mastered version
