Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet disappointment

Posted by akolegov (A) on May 27, 2017 at 00:20:45

Some time ago I purchased a relatively new release of Rolling Stones "Beggars Banquet" LP (DSD, Direct SBM, 2003 ABKCO Records).

Long time ago I used to listen to this record on my Philips reel-to-reel tape recorder and liked it a lot. As far as I can remember, it always sounded good, though my equipment was not so revealing.

I suspect that the current release sounds awful due to poor remastering and some "chemistry" used by Sony (DSD is the trademark of Sony & Philips). As a typically digital company, Sony made this record from digital sources and apparently used digital sources.

I noticed, however, that some other manufacturers (like Music on Vinyl), while also using digital sources, make very good and analog sounding records (as far as rock music is concerned).

This Rolling Stones LP sounds muffled, with rolled-off highs, while the music is still good to my ears...

It worth mentioning that the Between the Buttons LP made by the same manufacturer sounds much better.

Any comments will be appreciated.
