For those of you who have ordered these records via A’zon…
How has the shipping packaging been?
Do the records come undamaged and not warped???
Thx much,
Don
[please forgive my poor English]I’m not a vinyl guy and I think this set for Solti’s Ring is already completely sold out. //No, it is not
but I thought this YouTube video might be interesting to people who are interested in how some of these LPs are made.
Solti Ring half-speed
Very interesting and educational read. thanks.[please forgive my poor English]
Regarding Wagner's Ring by Solti (LP & SACD)
Interesting, thanks.
- Although half-speed, these 2022 edition LPs are not full-analog (AAA).
- An SACD edition of that 2022 remaster edition has been released too.
- "They are both sourced from the same digital master"
How do the LPs compare to the SACDs? According to Mark Ward (Tracking Angle):
"I am not a particularly technically knowledgeable person, so I am not really in the position to speculate as to why the 2022 vinyl version is inferior to the 2022 SACD. They are both sourced from the same digital master." ("The Greatest Recording Ever Made": The Decca/Solti "Ring" Cycle Revisited - PART 3: Listening to the Decca "Ring", Tracking Angle).
At least Götterdämmerung is still available in LP, as it was released in the end of June.
The Ring will played across 2023-24 & 24-25 at the Opéra Royal de La Monnaie (Brussels Opera house).1st work: Das Rheingold. Tickets for sale from the 19th of September 2023.
I own this original copy, in mint condition (given to me by my uncle, whose late step father was a music lover - funny how vinyl is often a matter of sentimental link to people through things):
I liked the first video. It's open, dynamic, detailed, better.You guys can compare these two…one of them is the DGG original source. See which you prefer.
the speakers were taken off the spikes and put on wheels to move around, so the slight boom in bass that is not on either record.

Second for moi. There's a cat!You guys can compare these two…one of them is the DGG original source. See which you prefer.

^If The 2022 Solti Ring LPs were not sourced from the digital rework and repair of the original master tapes I would not have bought the set.
The 2022 SACD sounding better than the LP is not really surprising. LP as a medium has more flaws than any beautiful girl you shouldn’t have fallen in love with.
A comparison of the 1958 Rheingold LP and the 2022 would have been a fun exercise.
True. I find the vinylophile disregard of anything non-AAA quite amusing though.
Back to topic: My DG TOS Mahler 5 Karajan is delayed. I can wait, but the trouble is that it delays my son's birthday present too.
Amazon ships records in any number of various ways, even today. I’ve had records put on my porch not even in a box. Sometimes they come in record mailers, sometimes in regular huge boxes. Sometimes double boxed and sometimes not.Thank you all, for your replies regarding the shipping from Amazon. I was asking as I think I remember reading in one of the forums years ago that Amazon was shipping their lp's in a shipping bag... not even protected in a box and people were saying how the record sleeves were being received with bent corners and the records were warped. As a result, I never would order records from them. It's nice to know that most of you are now having good results![]()
He gets Avenged Sevenfold · Life Is But A Dream.so you will gift your son a birthday present which is an LP you want to listen to?
I just have some links. There is a "code" on each web page. I hope it helps. Surprisingly, I cannot find Das Rheingold.Do you have a catalog number for LP? Thanks.
