Whats on your turntable tonight?

FWIW: Today, I compared the new "Meddle" to my UK Harvest. A similar result from above.

The UK: presents as more detailed but this may be a result of it not sounding as smooth or warm as the new re-master. Has a more centralized soundstage.

The new re-master: Smoother sounding. Has a warmth that the UK lacks. A wider and more delineated soundstage. Better integration of lower bass region.

I prefer the new version for a more pleasing experience.

FWIW: I just finished listening to my 2011 "WYWH" remaster. This one has a similar overall character that jumps out at me, reminding me of my previous two comparisons. The soundstage is "more centralized". This can't be correct. After listening to "Meddle"& "OBC", noticing those differences, I will be ordering the new re-master of "WYWH".

I really love the wider, more delineated soundstage of the newer re-masters. It just sounds right.

Prokofiev: Romeo And Juliet - Mitropoulos/NYP - Columbia MS 3023 (Speakers Corner reissue) - just a marvelous performance.

Are you in the U.S.? If so, you may get a re-press of the 2011 Doug Sax release, not a Bernie Grundman re-mastering. Be sure to ask if you’re looking for the same qualities that you’re hearing in Meddle. See the Steve Hoffman Forum thread on the new reissues:
