In Reply to: RE: No such issues with the Petrushka side, bass drum clear as a bell, no overloading anywhere. nt posted by jdaniel@jps.net on October 01, 2016 at 08:32:20
That's actually great news. They may have fixed the problem during production. I'll have to find another copy and hope for the best. My own copy and the one a friend owns are incredibly bottom-heavy totally unlike any other in my collection.
I love this performance, have it on a fine-sounding LP, and have always regretted that the tape sounds so weird. I'm using an Otari MX 5050 BII deck modified to send the tape head signal to a deHavilland 222 tape head preamp, so I don't think my system is at fault.
Follow Ups:
I don't know what tape HDTT used. I just know the lp inside and out and it was one of the few cherished records, (too few to justify keeping my turntable), that I knew I was going to miss when moving on to downloads. That's why I was so thrilled to see it come available digitized.
The download reminded me of the lp in every way, and it was a slight improvement in fact. The Petrushka was one of the last lps I listened to last month before selling.
The original 4-track commercial tape -- the only tape available of the Ansermet performance when the LP came out, the one that is severely overloaded -- is NOT what you were referencing.
And I can stop thinking about looking for a good-sounding tape, per se.
I was afraid of that :-)
I'd love to get my hands on a genuine 15 ips 2-track "safety master" at a reasonable (less than $250) price.
"Transferred from a 15ips 2-track tape"At least that's what it says on the packaging.
I believe the London Tape LCK 80006 is a 4 track 71/2 ips tape

As I've mentioned before, a friend has a 15 ips 2 track tape deck which he had restored and for which he bought a couple of tapes from The Tape Project (for $300 each, I think they cost even more now). IIRC, one was a classic jazz oldie, Saxophone Colossus with Sonny Rollins, the other a contemporary recording. That's some of the best consumer audio I've ever heard.
So I'd expect the hi-rez issue to improve on the Decca commercial CD release.
