I agree, SgreenP@MSN.com, that 1960s classical records were miked differently from today's CDs. CD strengths include bass extension, bass definition, transparency, detail, macro-dynamics and absolute speed accuracy. To play to these strengths, recording engineers appear to use different microphones for different orchestral instruments, and the resulting mix made to sound transparent and detailed, with varying tonalities for each, individual instrument or instrumental section, assembled together like colorful paints on an artist's canvas.
Unfortunately, this is not what I hear at Carnegie Hall, or in any other indoor orchestral concert hall. There, the sound is chaotic and absolutely not detailed or transparent, with random harmonics bouncing at you from every which way, even when sitting close to the stage. Such a sound is inviting, exciting and at times thrilling. I generally do not get that with digital music, which to me sounds more measured and artificially constructed and arranged.
In deference to the OP, congrats to the VPI Prime, volunteer. That turntable should serve you well, with or without a/s.
