In Reply to: RE: RCA Gold Seal posted by David Smith on April 26, 2015 at 21:19:46
Previously released as LSC-2695, this was from AGLI-3792 dated 1981 on the jacket.
Shaded Dog to follow.

First half of side one from LSC-2506, Leontyne Price Arias. Not a terribly clean copy, a fair number of pops and ticks but audio quality is clear enough. Sounds nice and different from the Gold Seal above, but neither "sounds bad" to me.
Perhaps my Gold Seal is one of the good ones as vinyl phanatic said, I'll probably buy some more if I see them in decent enough shape, to see how others compare.

You are comparing two very different recordings.
The El Amor Brujo, LSC 2695 is a later "Dynagroove" recording, and the original does have very good sound. There are quite a few Dynagroove recordings that are worth having. It was a step in the wrong direction, to be sure, but it is a mistake to dismiss them all. If you like it, I would recommend looking for an original issue of this. It did come as a shaded dog, but a "White Dog" would be fine as well. It is neither hard to find nor expensive.
LSC 2506 is an earlier recording, before the introduction of Dynagroove, recorded in Italy by RCA with the Rome Opera Orchestra. The Trovatore excerpts on this record are lifted from the complete recording (you'll notice that they have a different conductor). This is a nice record, certainly worth having for the performances, but it's not among the best sounding Living Stereos.
Do you think the gold seal sounds "bad"? I think it sounds quite good. I wouldn't doubt an original sounds different or possibly better, as with many records.
I posted the shaded dog for frame of reference if we're discussing how much worse the gold seal sounds compared to a shaded dog.
