It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Dorati on Mercury

I have long enjoyed these. I have it on a Mercury Golden LP, Mercury SRI 75009, which sounds very good.

I got it on CD on Mercury 416 496-2. The sound is disappointing with the tone controls flat, although it sounds quite good if I turn the Tilt control on my Quad preamp down two or three notches. With conventional tone controls, I suspect a bass boost of about 3 dB or so with a treble cut of about 3 dB would improve the sound considerably. The CD does not indicate that the CD issue was produced by Wilma Cozart Fine so I presume she was not involved in the remastering.

I hope the SACD is good.
