As a classical musician exposed to vocalists in that genre, I wonder how you reacted to the female vocal in Great Gig In The Sky by Clare Torry

Looking forward to this!

So which actually sounds better to you if you weren’t a reviewer?

When asked what he thought of Reiner, an anonymous CSO musician answered something like: not much of a conductor but a heck of a nice guy.

I love your reviewing work. Thank you so much Anthony. If it wasn’t for you, I would probably have missed out on this one which I immediately ordered as the 33 repress. Very eager to listen to the vinyl sound of this milestone recording. I take it that the 33 vinyl is an ADA spars, right? Or? Best from Germany

Hello Anthony and crew. Missed the live feed. Enjoyed the show again. How exiting to have Jerome carry the torch of analog art for new generations. James farber went to the same school I attended back in the seventies to study audio engineering. Thanks again tony

Im a newbie from Leicester UK. Really enjoyed your live stream...after the event. Really love the content. Cheers Ian.

This is going to be a fun series! I picked up the QRP pressed single lp reissue from acoustic sounds, it cost around $35.

Thanks for the review. I purchased many records from DG. Unfortunately, their QC is atrocious these days. I purchased last a super special edition of John Williams concert in Vienna. The amount of surface noise is like nothing I heard before from a new record. Inaudible. I lost 100USD right there. Won't trust them again, sad.

I love my Solti Beethoven 9th London FFRR Chicago Symphony.

A beautiful recording and performance. I have this mastering but always wished for the 33 rpm speed. The majority of advantages that are ascribed to 45 rpm are not the speed itself but solely the amount of time cut on each side. Either speed actually achieve equal advantage if you reduce the timing per side or cut effectively to avoid the inner groove area. Would love to discuss this issue some day. Thank you for your channel, Tony

I love your channel, a good mine. Can you tell me what speakers you listen to please. Always interested from a musicians perspective of how you try and reproduce orchestral works and the problem with trying to reproduce the first Violins en masse. I agree with your sentiments about Previn , his Rachmaninoff has never been surpassed. We are so lucky to have his piano concerto recordings with Ashkenazy to make things complete. Cheers Ian.

What Nad amplifiers are you using ? Thanks .

It’s very big , it is top loading! Love the display , will it output dsd with sacd so can use with other DACs Anthony ?

Metronome is what use for cd . I love it, but I run it through my Denafrips dac. So I only use it as a transport and I never tried the dac. How it sound

Alan Loveday made fine recordings of the Grieg sonatas and the Beethoven concerto released on Saga. He was a fine violinist and musician.

I need to go record shopping with Jim! I’m lucky if any of my local charity shops (in Norfolk, UK) even have any records.

I was fortunate to buy this record at retail and completely agree with you. English, Scottish, and Cornish Dances on Lyrita is quite wonderful too.

@4:06 Dual never made a High End turntable

Thanks Anthony and Scott. Enjoyed the conversation very much.

Great video! Wonderful review and content. Thank you so much!!!! I am going to check out. Thank you Anthony 😊

I just bought it

I've been hoping for a video like this! The crème de la crème! I noted several that I will now need to search out, especially the Arnold! Thanks for the mention my friend!

Nice one Anthony! Thanks for sharing. I might join the livestream with couple of albums that are easily accessible and sounds wonderful. 😊

While I am sitting here cleaning some records and listening to a LP (Handel - Orgelkonzerte pressed by Meister Der Musik/Decca) I just wanted to thank you both for educating me on Classical music, titles to look for and the labels to collect.

I listened to a Naia today with the Rega Cartridge. Very nice, takes the traditional Rega strengths and amplifies them. Great prat as expected, very well organized. A little polite, but the cart is not broken in yet. Interesting that my ref is the Pure Fidelity also and I am sticking with it as well.

Enjoying this channel since I first joined for John Devore interview. Time Records: Carmen McRae Live at Sugar Hill is a terrific performance, well recorded. Mono: if you don’t have a mono cart, a phono stage with a mono switch greatly improves mono sound from a stereo cartridge.

I love you guys Degritter/Humming guru...I use a cloth with Isopropyl alcohol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 They sound awesome.

Scott 'I'm Shocked, shocked...Well not really' 😃

I have been enjoying the AT VM540 ML - great top end but, realising its limitations in dynamics / heft/ power / weight of sound ( I'm not sure of the technical term) etc I have ordered a Lyra Delos...but one has to be patient because demand is outstripping supply..at the moment

Curiously poor sound quality on the commentary...

I did buy a used Clearaudio Goldfinger, I guess it is even above the Titan, at least in price so I guess it sounds a little bit better. Totally HAPPY with it when the vinyl is PERFECT but if not this cartridge can drive you crazy, it is really revealing of any noise, it forces you to find records in perfect condition. So I wonder, is there anything out there that sounds as and as good as the Goldfinger and isn´t that revealing on "dirt" in the grooves? I can listen very loud, no limits there because no neighbors and I mainly listen to Pop/Rock/Metal from 70s and 80s

I use an Ortofon TA-210 so I can easily swap cartridges for each situation. I have the Orto 2M Mono you put up but when it was supplied ready mounted - so only VTF requires changing from my SPU - GME MC cartridge - and I second your reviewers choice on this cart. Of course, if you play mono many of those are old enough to not be RIAA. So I got the MM because I use the Graham Slee Jazz Club to play those old curves especially Decca FFRR - makes a massive difference - I have a 2m Blue and it is great with poorer condition records and 45's which I use it for.

Those better produce the artist in my home when I play the record.

The sound quality of the vocal commentary is execrable. I guess you are deaf.

The Mahler session was separately recorded by Jerry Bruck and recently released on CD by High Definition Tape Transfers. Sounds fabulous and reportedly better than the different Unicorn recording of the same session.

Hello New to this channel so getting caught up on past videos. Thank you for this listing of Living Presence titles! I am late to the table on Living Presence but in the past month I have found a little honey pot of them and now have over a dozen of them. Unfortunately about 2/3 of them are Mono but all of them in great sounding condition. I suspect these came from a single collection as I have also picked up some great Living Stereo titles as well.

I am sorry I missed this livestream again.. Catch you all later..🙏🏻

I would agree with your assessment of Rega-isms and for a reviewer dealing with shims and not being able to change cables would be a nightmare. I enjoyed my time with Rega and the tweaks that I did on my p3-24 when I owned it with groove tracer tweaks. My question for you is outside of the Rega issues and pound for pound putting your reviewer’s hat on does the NAIA with that cartridge that was on it sound better than that beautiful wooden reference of yours that you showed in the video in bass, treble, midrange, and prat or is it just different?

Great show all. Have a great vacation Anthony and see you in a couple of weeks.

my best Beethovens are Carlos Kleiber, Karl Bohm and Karajan.

My dream turntable :D That arm is just spectacular.

What's the best way to keep tabs on the Esoteric cd line? The link seems to lead to their high end gear...any suggestions?

I am happy to spend. 30 or sometimes even more for a new record. They are worth it. Never saw one selling for 5 Euro not even at a flee market. When they are looking like trash than you might find them cheap otherwise no way. We in Germany seem to know good stuff and we gladly pay for it. But they did sell for cheap 5 or 10 years ago here, too. If that is still the case in Canada lucky you 😅

My favorites are Nielsen 1, Walton 1, and Vaughan Williams 2, 3, and 5. Also the Shostakovich 5 with the LSO.

Did musicians ever call him Col Klink behind his back?

17:45 the Hana is excellent

2:08 the 2M Red is for me the worst buy on a cartridge, it sounds awful with big IGD

Really enjoyed your thoughts on Andre Previn LSO Star Wars trumpeter was Maurice Murphy 🎺

Are the original recording of this worth considering if we don't own them?
