Definitive Audiophile pressings

[Mather]

The new National Live in Rome album probably belongs on here. It's pretty spectacular. I heard it last week on this 1000 Watt system and no surprise, it was bananas.

But it sounds great with or without the bonkers system.

Is that a speaker cable on the floor? Good sir, this is the Definitive Audiophile thread. Those cables need to be on wooden risers spaced in 25 cm increments.

I have the SYEOR version of Adventure but will definitely consider grabbing Faces.

 

[djdavedk]

I have an OP of Adventure, which is likely fine.

Any Rhino Discount codes floating around?

I pre-ordered the Impex version of Al DiMeola's Elegant Gypsy in the Target BF sale and it's as good as you'd expect from them.

4LP 45??

I’ll stick with my EU Bernie cut

Right, but why is it 4 LP? It’s a 60 minute album

Because Chad. Also it’s 45–can you do 60 min on a 2LP at 45?

Not really, you’d lose the benefits of going the extra yard for 45. It’s really 10-12, 13 max, for a 45 if you’re doing it properly. And then if you get a longer song it can throw the side arrangements because you have less time to play with. 4LPs for 60 mins sounds gratuitous though.

Chad wanted $120 instead of $60 is the real answer why it’s 4x45.

Also isn’t this an album that’s had like a zillion really nice pressings over the last 5 or so years?
