What are you listening to Part the Third


Voltron

Recommended Posts

it isn't as good as the unreleased DCC, if you're wondering. it's close, but is hotter, and appears to have had noise reduction applied more aggressively. still way better than the standard release, and better than the 40th ann. release.

There isn't any noise reduction on the AF gold disc. I agree it's not that great sounding though.

the master tape might well have degraded in the time between the DCC and the AF. the AF Morrison Hotel, which i'm listening now, definitely doesn't seem to have been NR compared to the W. German Target.

The AF may not have been from the master tape. I don't think AF has always got original masters unlike DCC (or DCC's claims to). But SH said he never used any DSP or digital manipulation on Soft Parade or Morrison Hotel. All EQ was done in analog, then transferred to digital by Pacific Microsonics.
