I don’t have a problem with MOV for albums from late 80s or 90s and on but for early rock, 60s or 70s, I’d look for originals.

@slaw - I have "Who's Next" from MoV and I think it's pretty darn good. Don't have an original to compare though. Good originals seemed too expensive at the time I was looking. Checked the reviews on Discogs and the reviews of the MoV were very positive. Just listened to it a couple of nights ago. Really good... I also have Elvis Costello - "All This Useless Beauty" on MoV and it is also very good. I think I have a couple more. I'll be on the lookout for them and I'll give them a spin if/when I find them. |
@reubent , I guess it’s never a hard and fast rule but we have to go by our own experiences. But since MOV uses digital files, anything originally recorded digitally, won’t be as suseptible to sounding bad or worse. One thing is about MOV, I’m usually impressed with the vinyl quality and pressing quality. Simply Vinyl wasn’t thought very well of by many end users but the ones I own sound very good. One of them happens to be Tommy. |
Hey Steve, I would like to hear a super clean original copy of "Who's Next" on my system for reference. Given a choice, I would typically prefer an original pressing, or at least a re-issue or re-master from the original analog tapes. But I'm happy with the MoV "Who's Next" and "All This Useless Beauty". You're correct about one thing for sure: The Vinyl is quiet. |
