Edited 8 months agoPlays OK with Benz Micro Wood SL and Reed 5A tonearm. Some level of sibilance is present on Spanish Harlem, other tracks plays better. Not recommended on cartridges with tilted high frequency response.- Very noisy pressing with lifeless flat sound. Was this just pressed from the CD with auto tune? This pressing simply has no musical presence at all. The CD is better.
- For a much lauded album… this pressing sounds mediocre at best, while Spanish Harlem is almost unlistenable due to the amount of distorsion. How can this be an audiophile release from Chesky?
Edited 2 years agoIts true that the sibilance on Spanish Harlem is insane! The other songs also have it to an extent.
No cartridge can track that much HF energy without mistracking and distortion...
Keep finding more and more of these audiophile releases with excessive sibilance and then I play a normal LP and it has no issues with the vocals. Makes me wonder why I bother with vinyl for those releases and not just get a cheap CD, at least it won't sound nasty on the ssSSSsss vocals.
Maybe the 2xLP 45RPM version by AP is better but really there's no excuse. Side A is 25 mins long so I expect harder to track passages and its true some of the songs have audible sibilance, but nothing major. Don't get why Spanish Harlem sounds as bad as it does when side B is 20 mins running time in total. Either way this is something that could have been taken care of during the cutting process. I have 53 mins LPs that don't have an ounce of sibilance problems.
I'm using a perfectly aligned shibata stylus and no other record I've played has THAT much sibilance hissing. Shame as the music is pretty nice!
Extreme hissy noises by the song spanish harlem. Other songs not so much....
