So, after a week of living with the Clearaudio TT/arm/cartridge, I love
it more and more. The sound that I am getting from my records is just
so effortless and easy... like a good concert hall. I just put on
several CDs, and I just don't get that with them. The timbres are
thinner and less life-like. I wish that it were the other way around,
but it's not. If this is due to "euphonic distortion", bring on more
of
it!

One man's euphonic distortion is another man's compression.
I would find it interesting to know what, if any differences in the mix
might be.
My suspcion is that the LP mix you like is simply different than that of
the
same recordings on CD.

Hmmm... generally, I don't know. But, the classical and solo folk
guitar recordings I tend to listen to the minimum miking, so minimum
mixing differences, I would imagine.

Don't be misled by this "different mix" statement, Jenn. It is incorrect.
Discs are cut, and CDs are mastered from the same master tape. In the
case of the music which you describe there is no mixing anyway, it
is recorded straight stereo.

Cordially,

Iain
