Which Record makes your system shine?
Hey All,
Been a while since I posted anything and I hope I am posting in the correct category.
So, just curious, which Vinyl Record, do you feel makes your system shine and display it's full potential?
OR, put another way, which record or records would you put on if you wanted to show off your system to someone who has not heard or seen it before?
Of course we know, not all records sound the same but for me I feel (at least on my system), it's the record: "Temptation" by Chantal Chamberland - Evosound Records
Carpenters: The Singles (forgot to check the record label).
On the other hand, I have James Taylor Greatest Hits on Vinyl and that record just sounds a bit veiled to me.
It's funny how one record can sound great and another, not that it sounds bad but just doesn't seem to have that crispness or openness to it.
System at the moment if you're wondering:
- Vincent SV-500
- Mofi Studio Desk w/Hana SL MC
- Martin Logan Motion 40 Speakers
- Sim Audio Moon 110lp V2 Phono
- Cardas Cabling
@billpete You're right, Telarc's first recordings were D2D, but the vast library of their work is with digital. I own the Micheal Murray/Saint Saens 3rd Symphony and the Tchaikowsly 1812 and both are digital. The 1812 has the "Digital Cannons" warning on it. Crystal Clear, Umbrella, Concord Jazz and others jumped on the D2D bandwagon after Sheffield's success. They did not have the sophisticated back-end studio equipment that Sheffield had so their recordings weren't as good. |
@bikefi10 Hi, will do! |
@thecarpathian -- I'm glad to see others agree with us on Dire Straits. "Brothers In Arms" is another incredible recording, but sometimes I think it is a little too bright. For me to say that is something -- I have to turn the treble up due to hearing loss at those frequencies.
The debut album is pretty special, also. The blocks on "Water Of Love" tell me if the speakers can cut it or not for my taste. |
@allenf1963 , forgot to thank you for solving a mystery; I always wondered what made that shuffling noise... |
