A bit rough around the edges but that's what one should expect from a less-than-stellar-engineered recording, right? Besides, that was 50+ years ago when the engineering technology was a bit more raw or primitive. Plus a really nice guitar aorund the mid-point.
If you've got a macbook and...
Thanks, Chet. It's much appreciated.
Sorry but I've only two Springsteen cd's and most of the tracks seem fairly poorly-engineered in an almost funky way. A greatest hits and Human Touch and neither contains that song. Maybe this track will do as it's also one of the better engineered...
On a hunch, I replaced my Furutech outlets with Hubbell outlets from Jena Labs who employ the superior full-immersion cryo'ing method. In my case, the gains were quite substantial and quite a surprise, since I've probably tried maybe 4 or 5 different audio-grade outlets over the past 20 years...
Here's a solid 7 minutes of a steady-beat kick drum - with a few distractions here and there. Though most beneficial in any endeavor at realistic listening volume levels.
Good question but no. I've probably attended no more than 15 or so rock concerts.
Give this at least some juice. But only if you intend to listen to something potentially a bit more engaging and realistic.
Yes, that's one valid strategy to brush off a potential preconceived narrative.
Thanks, I do appreciate that. Perceived live performance volume levels is what I strive for regardless of genre, recording quality, etc and obviously there are some pieces I will not listen to. And I rarely listen...
Unsure why you chose not to answer a single one of my questions.
Sure, some musicians wear ear protection. Have you not noticed how close they are to their own and surrounding instruments? Thankfully, our listening perspective is supposed to be at a distance like maybe somewhere in the audience...
No. Sorry, but bearing in mind our presumable efforts toward a more realistic perspective of our playback presentations, your question seems a bit absurd. At least on its face.
Why do you ask?
Pretend for a moment that you’re a disco junkie. At what listening volume levels would you listen...
Untrue as I've yet to encounter any sonic proof of such a statement nor do I think it's possible to prove. Why? Because once any room is complete, it will still sound inferior until speakers are placed optimally within the room.
On the other hand, if you were to say something like ...

I don't subscribe to any service. I've ripped my CD's and once in a while some hi-rez downloads to a 2TB SSD which becomes my source via a USB cable. Never really had much desire to stream.
lol. So excited they've probably been wearing pull-ups since Dec of 2014?
Lee, my hunch is you'd be doing yourself a real service if you took the time to read what Moncrieff has to say about MQA sonics and those who find pleasure listening to MQA. But, it's just a hunch.
BTW, the quote "For...
Ooomph and menace come in different flavors. I suspect this piece could bring many a system to its knees – if listened to at volume levels approaching the live performance.
