Good music ! Bad digital recording !

 

You have to start doing live symphonies to get classical music


Regards

Maybe I am misinterpreting your comment but I don't believe that generalization is true. By "get", I assume you mean comprehend and enjoy. For many, classical music is an "acquired" taste requiring repeated exposure (and concentration) to understand and appreciate the complexities and nuances of the compositions be it in a domestic or live concert venue.

I took my step daughter to numerous classical concerts and she never "got" it.

 

Good music ! Bad digital recording !

Why do bad recordings happen to good people … such great and timeless music.

Luckily Walter Becker from Steely Dan can't hear it anymore. R.I.P. who produced the LP. The dynamic is extraordinary.

Imagen how good it would have been with a all analog recording chain. "Girl at her Volcano " too ! Dynamics on "On the boardwalk " are great !

Well, we can't agree on anything. As far as I know, the studio has only produced analog recordings up to 2007. the recording is excellent.

Where in that link did you find that information ?

 

The CD says "DDD" , indicating a digital recording originally, that is what i hear too on the vinyl.

Fantastic recording. One of my favourites and certainly my favourite RLJ.

Gear list button. you see only R2R machines no digital. For cd you need ad converter to dat or harddrive but I think it is unlikely in 1989 with a hard drive

Plenty of digital recorders around from 82 and forward, current gear list is absolutely no indication of what was used 35 years ago, analog has had some revival in some studios, some customers ask for it. Digital was the trend back then and that recording sounds like it to me, the DDD on the CD indicates a digital first step, the recording. The recordings where recorded at 3 different studios, and probably merged digitally too.

On my lp nothing about DDD, maybe it's a digital recording but sounds great. The first PCM digital recordings were made in 1978, e.g. Ry Cooder bop till drop.

I took my step daughter to numerous classical concerts and she never "got" it.

She was not yet ready to get it , i didn't until into my 30’s and mostly after attending a few symphonies , its really difficult to appreciate classical music from just recordings via a playback system , attending live concerts is a must IMO , then recordings via playback becomes a fill as one now has a reference ..

Maybe she just preferred other types of music which turned out to be the case. A very common occurence with artistic expression and personal tastes.

Think about it. It really is a simple concept. Sorry I posted a contrary opinion. Won't make that mistake again.

By coincidence, just listened to that CD again last week. Great music IMO.

 

And now I am breaking in a new pair of Heretic 612s… with only about 24 hours on them they are clearly very special speakers. Running them in with the Pilium, the 97 db efficient Heretics should be a lot of fun with my new TriodeLabs 45 Evo SET integrated.

I’ll post a better pic when I have some ambient light in the room, and throw up a youtube video after they’ve got a couple hundred hours on them.

 

Couple Hundred hrs , great Xmas Video
