The cd of Belefonte at Carnegie Hall is absolutely spectacular. On a good system. Incredible soundstage, like the LP. Big as the state of Kansas. Alas, there's much to do to get digital up there with analog.

RE: Belafomte at Carnegie Hall CD - rick_m 07:45:58 05/19/12 (2)
Before I get excited and try to squeeze more goodie out of my copy I'd like to confirm that we are talking about basically the same disk.

This one is an RCA 6006-2-R.

Same critter?

Pressing: Sonopress A01 DD19601 IFPI L028

Close?

I have several ways to play CD's and sometime a disc will sound substantially better using one of them but I don't routinely try them all.

Thanks, Rick

  I suspect the Living Stereo RCA version of the CD is the one to get. Unless the one you're referring to is a botched pressing it should be OK.

    "I suspect the Living Stereo RCA version of the CD is the one to get."
    
    OK, got it added to my "cart".
    
    The one I have says it was digitally mastered in 1989 and the Living Stereo one is apparently 2008 so maybe better?
    
    I had an interesting experience with two CD's of the same 'take five' session from our library, one was fine, but the other was breathtaking. Perfect sound forever...
    
    Thanks for the suggestion on the Belafonte,
    
    Rick
