Hey @noromance , I noticed immediately on a lp with acoustic instruments how much more lifelike they sound. The plucked strings, the guitar body resonance, the ambience and decay are all improved. On certain recordings the treble extension and air seems ongoing. Of course the bass is very full and weighty yet defined and musical. The midrange is just more prominent and again, lifelike. Can’t wait for the Podiums..

For those who really, really like David Crosby’s debut:

I just opened today’s email from MoFi, and there was the listing for the next Super Vinyl title: the Crosby album. Two 45 RPM LP’s, pressed on Clarity "vinyl" (the same PVC Analogue Productions used for their Kind Of Blue reissue).

Not a 1-Step, this title is priced $74.99. I have a pretty clean original, and don’t like 45 RPM 2-LP editions, so I think I’ll pass (if it was a single 33-1/3 disc I would definitely get it). Great sounding album even in the mass-produced version, this one may be really great.

bkeske (Brian),

Is the JGB album well recorded? I have that on CD & like it, but it doesn't sound the best.

I hope so. I have it on cassette and it sounds pretty darn good. Bought the CD in case my cassette went berserk, and don’t enjoy it as much, so hoping they did a good job on the vinyl. The seller says it sounds great (he has a personal copy).

This is also the same performance that I linked that YouTube video a while back.

Fingers crossed, as it isn’t cheap.
