Listening to the newly Remastered Supersonic Ultimate Sound One-Step Vinyl Disc of Lyn Stanley compilation of her previous releases (21 previous + 1 new tracks) gave me the meaning of a whole new level sound quality, vivid vocal intimacy…clearer minute detail in her expression, more weight and palpability (a surreal sensation of being next to the recording mike). To me, …
Another UHQLP 1 STEP vinyl album that I have in hand, HI FI FLAMENCO (1999 Victor Entertainment/ Modern Records UHQLP 3112 at www.modernaudio.com and www.funghang.com) that I played for the review. Literally, that was the least noise level presentation of the album irrespective of types of media, in my audio system (I do have multiple version of the CDs and vinyl record). I was …
I played the above UHQLP 1 STEP vinyl through my TECHDAS AIR FORCE ONE turntable, VERTERE REFERENCE tonearm, ORTOFON MC ANNA phono cartridge and FM ACOUSTICS 223 PHONO MASTER, with the turntable only connected to the TELOS ‘MONSTER’ GNR. The album, ‘SAINT MIC‘ (1999 TIS Records/ Fung Hang Record Limited UHQLP 6038, at www.modernaudio.com and www.funghang.com) was by the gifted …
I was so excited when my wife told me that the vinyl records have arrived. Then I paused and realised that I did not order any vinyl record recently. Who has sent me? They were from Andy Lam of MODERN RECORDS, and FUNG HANG RECORD LTD (HONG KONG) that specialised in 1 STEP UHQLP. If any audiophile /vinylphile whom has …
Most of us audiophile has heard MUDDY WATERS “FOLK SINGER”. Therefore, I played the ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS ULTRA TAPE R2R edition for some guests to introduce them to the format. Immediately, one of them exclaimed, “the best sounding source I ‘ve ever heard” He did share that Muddy Waters’ voice was not as forceful and shouty, comparatively. The guitar’s strings were …
The “Bangkok Acoustic” from The Groovin’ House Records. This is another vinyl record that Joe Poster Saksiri Pasothakang sent me. It contains tracks from a number of vocalists (both male and female) and instrumentals. All tracks are easily entertaining even though I do not understand the Thai language. I have played this records a number of time and each time …
I remembered listening to a Patricia Barber album in R2R tape that got me hooked to the format. Listening to this confirmed that the R2R has more ambience, air, articulation, detail and energy than its digital siblings, even though it was recorded digitally. Ultimately, it is audibly more lively and “you are there”. (THE R2R tape is available in MALAYSIA …
Listening to this tape proved to me that there are more energy, space, intricacy and minute detail, compared to the vinyl record. Actually, the differences are not limited to the above…enjoy
I think ‘some’ of us may be bored with the repeated reissue of well known audiophile titles in multiple formats…that is what I have been hearing. Some of the reissues are somewhat better than their older edition(s)… Instead of continuing to buy the reissues in different formats, I decided to take the plunge into their most expensive format, the Reel …
