It’s extremely dynamic. Not harsh at all when you listen in room. But the recording itself is a bit on the aggressive side/live.
Maybe try something else?
P.S. I think you may want to turn down the volume a little bit when recording.

Hello Peter,
I enjoyed listening to your video! Just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of the piece of wood that is in front of your fireplace?
Best wishes,

Thank you, Don. I have a variety of wooden planks around the fireplace. The fireplace projects into the room room and the sheet rock walls cause problems. The planks made of different types of wood act as diffusers and improve tone and focus. Someday I will get around to building a more permanent and aesthetically pleasing installation. This is a very effective acoustic solution that David Karmeli came up with during his second visit when he came to inspect my turntable set up.
Oh, that makes sense. Thank you for helping me understand that. I applaud you for trying various things to help you attain the sound that you are seeking! A true testament that everything matters from the recording to the cables, gear, and even the room acoustics.
Best wishes,
Don

I fail to see (hear) how the sound in that video is appealling in any way. The whole things sounds muddy. But I guess there is something there that escapes me.
To each their own... but, in my case.... when I listened to Peter's video, I truly enjoyed the arrangement of this song. She made it her own and for this reason, it connected with me. It touched me. If the music can trigger my emotions and touch my soul...For me, that is all that matters!
Thankfully, this can happen for me whether I am listening in a dedicated listening room on a high-end system, or via a youtube video and headphones connected to my laptop or even when listening to music on my vintage FM table top vacuum tube radio out in my garage! I consider it a blessing.
If Peter's youtube video was able to touch me via my headphones/laptop, I can only imagine how enjoyable it would be to listen to it in his music room! Thank you Peter for posting your video. I not only enjoy being able to have a glimpse of what other's systems may sound like, but I am often introduced to hearing recordings that are "new" to me.
Best wishes,
Don

Fair enough. I don't like the song, so I don't react the same way perhaps.
Thank you, Don. I exchange videos with friends for diagnostic reasons when making changes to the system. In these cases, the videos are tools for learning. I also share videos on the forum publicly as an introduction to the system and music. I also enjoy hearing system videos of other people systems. This Musica Nuda is a very different take on the classic Beatles song. Vladimir Lamm really liked this record. I find that those bass notes and tempo create a very different food.
Yes. The sound of the video is not good. Maybe it's the "nearfield" recording. And I don't see how a wooden plank would make a noticeable difference. Your friends liking the video are not doing you a favor!

And yes, It is a matter of taste, but Musica Nuda's version is a travesty of this iconic song.
What next? An Annette Askvik version? Audiophile quality be damned...
It's no surprise that not too many artists have covered this song. Some things are better left untouched.
