Experiments in Turntable Tweakage (AB comparison)
Clemmaster:
(click to show/hide)2 > 1. Fuller sound, more defined bass and better dynamics. By comparison, #1 sounds like it's recorded in a more reverberant room / more distant / less focused. It's clear from just the intro (up till the first cymbal crash - which sounds more raspy on #1.)
gurubhai:
(click to show/hide)2>1. The 2nd sample has better depth and air and is more natural sounding than the 1st one which is a bit too forward and appears a bit 'restricted' esp. in highs.
Marvey:
(click to show/hide)#1 has more prominent mids, slightly wall-of-sound effect, is more lively, but less controlled and dirty sounding. vocals and sax more forward in stage, rest of stuff in background but diffuse.
#2 has tighter bass, more precision, better damped.
I could go either way, slight tendency toward #1.
shaizada:
(click to show/hide)No contest on my side. I like 2 much better than 1. 1 is smaller, more "tinny" and doesn't open up on instruments. 2 sounds bigger, more filled out and has more development of tones.
Edit: Even after posting my comment above, I just re-listened. 1 just sounds more squished to me...I just don't like that kind of sound.

Yup, it's got more of that tonal and dynamic compression as I like to call it. It's got that more forgiving sound some people like in their headphones and speakers. I'll refrain from naming brands.
