Recent LP finds:

1. Classic Records/RCA: Dvorak: Cello Concerto Munch/Piatigorsky/BSO

This is one of the Wilcox RCA productions. Munch and the BSO sound
uninterested and GP only slightly better. The sound is uninvolving; not
gross, just not special.

2. Speakers Corner/Decca: Falla: The Three Cornered Hat
Ansermet/Suisse Romande

One of the best recordings I've yet heard. SUPER playing and
interpretation. The recorded sound is very, very good; better than any
CD that I've heard. Timbres are excellent. A "must have" IMO.

3. Speakers Corner/Harmonia Mundi France: Dances Anciennes de Homgrie
et de Transylvanie Clemencic Consort

The music is a bit of an "acquired taste" but if you are into it, this
is a fine disk: very good playing, excellent sound.

Hi Jenn!

How/why is it better than *any* CD? I have an extensive library of music on
various media and some very excellent record players, some downright
insanely expensive, and yet none can beat my $3K Denon DVD-5900 multiformat
player playing, say, one of the JVC XRCD samplers. Also my Nagra digital and
Tandberg analog R2Rs will trounce any turntable that I know of. This is not
to say that records cannot sound marvelous but it is an inherently flawed
media. Of course there is no accounting for taste.


Cheers!

How/why is it better than *any* CD?

I've yet to hear the presentation of instrumental and vocal timbres from
any digital media as good as the best LPs.

I have an extensive library of music on
various media and some very excellent record players, some downright
insanely expensive, and yet none can beat my $3K Denon DVD-5900 multiformat
player playing, say, one of the JVC XRCD samplers.

I haven't heard that player, but I HAVE heard one player that gives me
hope about digital: the E.A.R. Acute, at around $5000.

Also my Nagra digital and
Tandberg analog R2Rs will trounce any turntable that I know of.

I know that this might well be true, but I have no desire to start
another media collection ;-)

This is not
to say that records cannot sound marvelous but it is an inherently flawed
media. Of course there is no accounting for taste.

Yep.

You just had to get that $3k in didn't you ? A girlie wouldn't do that. Outed again !

Incidentally my Denon CD player was ~ £700 when it was released. Probably in
inflation adjusted terms roughly equal to the cost of yours now.

So there !

Denon is one of the better mid-fi companies, but their build quality is
as poor as any Japanese mass-market electronics company. I bought one
of their better DVD players (mostly because I didn't want to pay $4500
for the Naim), and it took a dump after a year.

The only truly respectable product they make, IMO, is the DL-103
cartridge.
