... pretty damned good?The process of unearthing, cleaning, re-sleeving and generally rejuvenating long-stored vinyl has seen a number of these Windham Hill vinyl albums re-surface from "storage oblivion".
Each and every album, once properly cleaned, has delivered an amazingly low noise-floor, great tonal balance, rock solid imaging, broad & deep soundstaging and a thoroughly enjoyable listen...
The quality of these (circa 1984-1989) pressings has easily been as good as, if not better than, many of the latest "audiophile-quality", 200gm virgin vinyl releases - and the inner sleeves they used were also very similar to the Nagaoka heavy plastic ones sold via HFN&RR's accessory shop.
Isn't nature wonderful?
