This isn't one I have and nice to hear that it sounds good. Sadly so much music from this era sounds horrid. I know there are a lot of variables and some great audio from the late '50s can still be enjoyed fully. The other day when I learned of Chuck Berry's death, I put together a playlist of a dozen some tracks. While I enjoyed the nostalgia of hearing music I grew up with and a few songs our garage band had played, I couldn;t finish the set - the sound was awful.

Just bought it and having a first listen. This one is offered at 24/96, while the 4/5 is at 24/44.1. How do they compare? First off - it has that gorgeous BIS sound. As for virtuousity - I have no classical training nor am I an expert. I just know what I like. And I like Sudbin! Overall, I'd have to say the 4/5 was truly magical, a level that this 1/2 approaches but doesn't quite achieve. Perhaps the difference is the ensemble (Minnesota O vs Tapiola Sinfonietta) and/or venue. All that said, this 1/2 clearly surpasses anything else in my collection. So - highly recommended, even if not quite at the very high level of the 4/5. Hope that helps. BacHolz 1 My Audio Setup Link to comment

Jud Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Bought a load of great music I'm happily listening to lately: Tinariwen - Elwan (modern Arabic) Son Volt - Notes of Blue (alternative country) Well Respected Kinks (best of) Dave Matthews - Under the Table and Dreaming Rhiannon Giddens - Freedom Highway (formerly of Carolina Chocolate Drops - Americana/soul/gospel) Jesca Hoop - Memories Are Now (fine vocals and songwriting, a little reminiscent of Kate Bush but I like Hoop better) Pete Townshend, Ronnie Lane - Rough Mix (benefit album to raise money for Lane, who was suffering from multiple sclerosis; full of tremendous songs, a real old favorite) O'Connor Band - Coming Home (Grammy award-winning bluegrass; Mark O'Connor has been one of the more amazing fiddle players going for decades) Monkey House - Left (if you like Royal Scam-era Steely Dan...) Omar Sosa, Seckou Keita - Transparent Water (modern African, jazz I suppose) One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. - Einstein Computer, Audirvana -> optical Ethernet to Fitlet3 -> Fibbr Alpha Optical USB -> iFi NEO iDSD DAC -> Apollon Audio 1ET400A Mini (Purifi based) -> Vandersteen 3A Signature.
