Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell
posted a review of Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell. 6 months ago
Adding 3-db's to the top-end opened this pressing up like a blooming heavy-metal thunder-flower. This reveals a nice punchy & wide stereo-mix with beautifully layered guitars & other aural accoutrements, as well as the perfect echo used on Ronnie's... See full review
Gordon Lightfoot - Cold On The Shoulder
posted a review of Gordon Lightfoot - Cold On The Shoulder. 7 months ago
Fantastic sounding LP, with a crisp & spacious soundstage and terrific deep bass as well. 'Slide On Over' goes wickedly deep in fact, a good test for sub-bass if your hi-fi can dig it out. Gord...there is no substitute.

Terrific album with a terrific recording & mastered with full fidelity intact. Nice to have the actual TML stamp in the deadwax too, so no dull or muddy 'copy-tape' sound on this hot-wax. Hell, you can hear right into the mix on this thing. Awesome...

Great pressing with a mastering that provides incredible clarity & good punchy sound. Heavyweight vinyl is dead-silent on my copy. As to mono vs. stereo that's up to you, but this mono-mix IMHO creates a cohesiveness & drive to the music that provides... See full review

Staggeringly powerful, touching, and soulful performances by Elvis & Co. Easily one of his best albums vocal-wise & that's saying something. Vinyl itself is whisper-quiet.
The Oscar Peterson Trio - We Get Requests

First song 'Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars (Corcovado)' is rather lo-fi but the rest sound STUNNING in stereo. And I do mean stunning. Great recording & mix of a dynamite set of performances. Vinyl is whisper-quiet as well...

Above & beyond how great the music is, it has to be said that this performance & recording is the very definition of 'dynamic range' for a vinyl LP.
As famed Canadian hockey announcer Danny Gallivan said, it has "cannonading drive"...
Radiohead - The Bends
posted a review of Radiohead - The Bends. about 1 year ago
Wicked sounding LP with a mastering that just gets out of the way and allows the 3-D soundstage to float out of the speakers & envelop the listener. Each tune is it's own unique soundscape & you can hear every nuance, every detail, be it metallic... See full review
Elvis* - Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis
posted a review of Elvis* - Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis. about 1 year ago
One of, if not the finest, of the live Elvis recordings of the 1970's, with a nice wide stereo-mix. But it's the loose, good-time vibe that sets this album apart. And the bass-vocals courtesy of JD Sumner have to be heard to be believed. Vinyl is... See full review
Hank Mobley - No Room For Squares
posted a review of Hank Mobley - No Room For Squares. about 1 year ago
Cracking good sound on this LP, so realistic it's ridiculous. The drumkit of Philly Joe Jones is a particular standout. Sweet mastering job by KG, with energy to spare yet delicate when need be. The heavyweight vinyl on my copy is pristine & whisper-quiet... See full review

A triumph of liquid holographic 3-D heavyosity, mastered & pressed to the usual excellent Canadian standards with whisper-quiet vinyl to boot. Stereo-mix is sublime, as the sound just floats out of the hi-fi and spreads its sonic wings & ascends into... See full review
