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.

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. 

@Imnop, nice to get confirmation on the Japanese pressing.

Regarding MFSL vinyl remasters....I’m a slow learner..... aways the dreamer to my detriment.

@slaw "The siblance on "s"s, seems more pronounced/noticeable."  I always thought that DSD kind of softens the upper frequencies, not make them more pronounced.
