Guest Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 How come so many people are buying the Diana Krall Turn Up the Quiet? Is it a new version? I have that since launch but haven't really listened to it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me SQ so-so only, not as good as Analogue Productions or Tone Poet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Just received from Amazon, going to enjoy them this weekend! Question: Is it Tone Poet series if there's no Tone Poet sticker? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so unimpressed with that one I didn't bother with the rest. Also it had a very "Made in China" kind of feel. Anyway, Elusive Disc featured it quite heavily at one time in their newsletters. I remember now that's where I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the very best Nat King Cole recordings I have. The sonics will blow your mind! Listen to Rambling Rose, it sounds like the whole crew is live in your room!

I have been looking at that one. if it's the same as the LE press (gold), it's a little flat and was recommended by francis to BLAST IT to enjoy it.

Just tried the GnR Greatest Hits today. At first listen, the first track I listened to was totally flat - Paradise City. It sounded like they were playing behind a blanket. Second track was slightly better - Knockin on Heaven's Door. By the 3rd track Civil War, it sounded pretty ok. The rest of the tracks also sounded pretty ok. Definitely not as flat as Paradise City, but still missing a lot of dynamics and didn't sound like they had the impact I remember. I thought maybe I was wrong, so I compared my all-time favourite GnR track- Sweet Child O Mine with some other recordings I have: And my suspicions were confirmed. This version (Greatest Hits) is definitely the worst of the 3. The other 2 were much more dynamic and had more bass slam. Axel's screaming was also much better defined, especially on the single. Conclusion - not a great recording, but I guess decent enough if you want to just have a convenient collection of all their hits. Especially the songs from Spaghetti Incident which is so hard to find. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted October 24, 2020 Administrator Share Posted October 24, 2020 Thanks so much. That’s what I was worried about. Greatest hits are often remastered as tracks come from all different sources so they try to level or match them. I think you saved me some $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the Zerostat. Best investment yet for my vinyl. Here in Tasmania it's cold and dry so static builds up very easily. I always use it before playing any LP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
