Musically, IMHO, you can NEVER go wrong with Sinatra with the sole exception of "Mama Will Bark!".

hello,

@LFF. the Rod Mckuen is kinda hard for me to take. :vomit:

It's just you. Music recording quality took a HUGE dive in the 70's. The best sound quality I have ever heard has come from recordings done in the 50's and 60's. IMHO, few modern day recordings capture the absolute splendor that Capitol, Contemporary, RCA, Mercury, Everest, and Decca captured back in the day.

Thanks, I'll keep trying.
I'm making an effort to listen to more artists from the era, do you have any suggestions?

Try buying the SACD's from Living Stereo and Mercury. The box sets are nice as well...


DECCA


DECCA MONO


Living Stereo


Mercury Living Presence

The Phase 4 Box


The DECCA Analogue

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin
