In Reply to: Because unlike you two., I was doing A/B comparisons in real time. Nt posted by jdaniel@jps.net on August 31, 2020 at 10:56:58:
the one you would need to do meaningful comparisons between these recordings and actual live orchestras in the concert halls they were recorded in. If you are talking about fact as opposed to preference as in "it is a fact that the Beecham sounds more natural" then you have to have an objective reference for what is natural and then proceed to do well designed A/B/hrC comparisons using objective standards of measured deviation from the hidden reference. THAT would be quite impressive. Particularly since you would have to organize this in coordination with two full orchestras that bear a meaningful similarity to the ones in those two recordings. It's not a "fact" it is your preference. There is no arguing preferences. But facts are objective in nature and verifiable.

- That's what I was saying all along. What two chan recordings give you that holistic, "you are there" thrill - jdaniel@jps.net 14:14:15 09/1/20 (3)
