porcy62 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 The dynamic is impressive, it even overload my Linn phono preamp! Yeah, the green light turned red in the highest peaks of the track. Now spinning: Caravan - If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You - Decca original UK stereo pressing. Man, those guys at the Decca knew how to do a record! Never found a true bad sounding Decca: from John Mayall to Solti's Mahler. Quote
sidewinder Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 Man, those guys at the Decca knew how to do a record! Never found a true bad sounding Decca: from John Mayall to Solti's Mahler. Recording level was often a bit low though, relative to noise. Just playing one of those Argos and although the sound was exquisite, it could have done with being boosted up a bit. A '60s thing, I guess. Quote

A '60s thing, I guess. Yep, sixties' pressings have a bit noisy vinyl, in the seventies' the vinyl compound was better, though I still think they did a great job from recording to pressing. Classical Decca recordings always struck me positively. As the rock/pop stuff. Quote

Clunky Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 Blow your horn with Benny Green (sic) & Paul Quinichette Brunswick ( heavy slab of 1950s UK vinyl). Surprisingly good group of separate sessions by the two leaders from 1953/4. Marlowe Morris on Hammond on the Vice-Prez tracks is nice and discreet. Quote
