In Reply to: the classic monos... posted by analog guy on April 18, 2007 at 11:10:47:
But they reveal treble detail that not even a minty first pressing could reveal. All of the titles I have compared to first pressings are actually quite good. Too bad Classic can't get their Q/C together.They offer a great product.
Follow Ups:
it's ture some blue notes and other labels (chess!) at times were cut very hot. This can be great when the record is beat up because some of those old ones play loud through noise. A lot of records that are cut hot lack real low bass but the blues notes do a decent job if it was there in the first place it seems, menaing rather it seems like a recording choice rather than a mastering one.remember, in the old days, mastering was pretty slash and burn, but there were a lot more cutting guys who knew what they were doing too.
i am speaking ONLY about classic's BLUE NOTE MONOS here, but i have 15 (i just counted) and they are all perfect.i have no expectation that they will meet or exceed the original. in the cases where i own both that and a 1st pressing, the original what i play....but i am quite pleased with the ones where i don't own a first pressing.
also, clean & quiet 1st or 2nd pressings are beyond the means of many, so the comparison is not really fair. we rarely expect a $30 anything to outperform a $300 whatever.... :)
Where there's smoke, there's fire. However, my own experience is similar to yours.
