Muddy Waters Folk Singer LP

i have the MoFi 33, which is nice. but........both 45 rpm versions smoke the MoFi. better in every way.

there are two 45 versions and I have both versions, an earlier 2 sided 2 disc, and later 45 version which is 4 single discs.

the 4 disc version is just a little better.....slightly quieter and the bass a little more articulate.

all these versions sound excellent.....but this recording somewhat demands the best sonics.

hi Mark,

yes, see the first response above. and it was, as you say, a pleasure.

Sorry fellas..I have the HDAD silver disc.the 24/192 transfer through a tube amp has EVERYTHING the vinyl has without snap-crackle & pop along for the ride..Master tape hiss is clearly audible without cartridge/surface noise.

generalizations about vinyl noise are no more valid than sterility about digital. both are not inherent in the formats, but signs of less than optimal execution. do you have the vinyl of this recording that actually has snap-crackle & pop?

i have the digital versions too; they are excellent I agree.....but not in the territory of the analog with this particular tape sourced recording. i can love and appreciate the digital, and still acknowledge the analog advantage when it's there.
