Establishing a common analog listening bias

So, is someone going to actually pull together a demo CD of the tracks and make it available?

(ha, ha ... that was supposed to be a joke for all you analogue nuts)

Great report Raul! Thank you very much.

Hi,
So, what then about "Tequila sunrise" and sibilance distortion?
Would that be part of the test scenario?

Hi Axel,
sibilance distortion is a very common phenomenon in a lot of set-ups AND on a lot of records.
What we need, are records which can be tracked WITHOUT sibilance distortion, but only if aligned perfectly.
Usually - if not recording-inherent - sibilance distortion are the result of miss-alignment of either (or most likely both...) cartridge or tonearm.
And yes - don't have to be Tequila Sunrise... - we do need in specific one or two records which can provide just this particular "test bench".
I am still working on the list of classical picks, but will provide them soon - too much "real world" work right now...

Thanks D.
You may want to figure if Tequila Sunrise will be a test case (or not), -- as well as the much talked about last track from side 2 of "so long so wrong" AK, even the 2nd (middle track) seems a challenge.

B U T if we can determine that those two example are due to the vinyl it self, we also have learned something.
