I have three copies of Bookends. The original pressing, a re-release and the CD which I just had to have. I started streaming a couple of years ago and the high res version on Qobux sounds great, but not as good as the original 1968 release. Yes it’s quieter. Yes it’s clearer, but the slight changes in the mix bother me. I say he same thing about the Beatles albums that have come out recently. I just had to buy them too.😁
Thoughts on the new pressing of "Bookends" lp from MFSL
Listening to it now. Has greater extension but will have to directly compare to a one of my early copies to understand how the digital step has or hasn’t affected the SQ in any meaningful way. The siblance on "s"s, seems more pronounced/noticeable.

@curiousjim , I keep on hoping in spite of knowing better.🤫 |
@bdp24 , I thought I had a 2 eye copy as well. May be non-accessable? |
Great record. The spoken word parts are still jarring. I’m looking forward to the SACD. I have 2 clean versions on LP. My Japanese pressing is all I want from vinyl. It’s open and dynamic. I’m 50% satisfied with my MoFi vinyl purchases factoring in sound vs. cost. I’m closer to 75% - 80% satisfied with their SACD’s. |
