Hot Stampers of Sonny Rollins’ Albums in Stock
One of our good customers has started a blog which he calls
A GUIDE FOR THE DEDICATED ANALOG AUDIOPHILE
Below is a link to a comparison he carried out with a few pressings of Sonny Rollins’ classic Saxophone Colossus, including the DCC, the OJC, and one of our Hot Stampers.
We will have some comments to add to his down the road. For now, please to enjoy.
Robert has approached the various problems he’s encountered methodically and carefully along these three fronts:
- Improving his equipment,
- Teaching himself how to do a better job of dialing in his turntable setup, and
- Learning how to do controlled shootouts for his favorite albums.
More on Robert’s system here. You may notice that it has a lot in common with the one we use. This is clearly not an accident.
And it is also no accident that these two systems just happen to be very good at showing their owners the manifold shortcomings of the modern remastered LP, as well as the benefits to be gained by doing shootouts in order to find dramatically better sounding pressings to play.
