Arthur Fiedler presents The Wonderful World of Music (Reader's Digest) I played 5 of the 10 LPs.Harry Belafonte at Carnegie Hall (Classic 200 Gram)
Listened with Sennheiser HD 580 Headphones as it is late at night. Super quiet pressing; zero surface noise, almost no tape hiss. And it sounds so real! This is perhaps the best LP of all time.The Duke at Tanglewood (Classic 200 Gram)
Also listened with Sennheiser HD 580 Headphones. Super quiet pressing, zero surface noise, there is some slight tape hiss between selections. Also sounds extremely realistic, perhaps the second best LP of all time.Arthur Fiedler presents The Wonderful World of Music (Reader's Digest) No Arthur Fiedler, it's all National Philharmonic Orchestra mostly conducted by Charles Gerhardt. Some I listened through speakers and some through headphones. This is a 1S/1S pressing and there is surface noise and some tape hiss, mostly mint by one side of one LP has an audible scratch. Still for $5.00 for a 10 set of some of the greatest performances of many great works it was a steal! Through speakers this is really exciting and realistic, though headphones it is a little too noisy and has some overload distortion not audible through speakers. I will remember to only play this set through speakers in the future.

Happy listening,
