More Reviews and Commentaries for Gaite Parisienne
Great cover, awful sound. It’s blary and gritty.
The sound is much too unpleasant to be played on high quality modern equipment.
A stereo that looks like the console below — or one that sounds like an old console even though it has new components, there are plenty of those out there in audiophile land — is perfect for all your bad sounding Golden Age recordings.
Or you could get that old console sound by powering your system with the Mac 30s you see pictured.
They are very good at hiding the faults of old records (and plenty of new ones too).
Our Pledge of Service to You, the Discriminating Audiophile
We play mediocre-to-bad sounding pressings so that you don’t have to, a free public service from your record loving friends at Better Records.
You can find this album in our hall of shame, along with more than 150 others that — in our opinion — qualify as some of the worst sounding records ever made. (Some records in the Hall of Shame have sound that was passable but the music was not up to our standards, or some combination of the two. These are also records that audiophiles can safely avoid.)
