Found time to listen to Norah Jones, Day Breaks, double LP

https://www.discogs.com/Norah-Jones-Day-Breaks/release/11061238

1st disc, Studio; 2nd LP live small Loretto theater NYC, 4 years ago. (I’ve never been there, but looks like a terrific size. I’d try balcony, front and center

like the similarly sized Victoria Theater at NJPAC., grear sound and sight for photographs.

As they said, return to her roots, piano based low key jazz, her beautiful voice and unique touch on the keys.

I definitely preferred the Live disc, very respectful crowd, but, I realized, it was too bunched up, I widened my toe-in, that gave a very nice distinction of separate instruments and their locations, like a small stage.

I’m going to go back to the 1st studio LP, see how things change with wider toe-in.

Previously, a different LP, I needed to adjust them ’in’ for a recording that was un-naturally wide.

Speakers on wheels to the rescue, combined with remote balance, can make big differences.

I often adjust my single listening default toe-in for a wider center when I have a friend over for a listening session, if 3 people, I sit just behind them, centered.

I’m gonna play with toe-in when the center is correct, but all bunched up.

You gotta avoid creating the world’s widest piano, that sucks.
Thanks @tomic601 ,

I wish they were offering just the previously unreleased and the bonus tracks separately on vinyl. My OP sounds so good, I hate to have a duplicate just to get the other tracks.

BTW, got in "Monovision" this week. Ray produced, engineered, wrote & played all songs.
