Whew. Finding this thread was more than I thought it would be. I will try and mark it somehow for future use. 

 

 Ok, you guys have all about DSOTM. I know. Only recently did I get the idea to find the best copy of it on vinyl without spending a fortune. To compare with, I am using a Mobil Fidelity CD that didn't even realize until a night or two ago was better than any vinyl that I have owned in the past. Having said that, I got a hold of a Harvest pressing, and yah, there were big differences in the sound. Maybe I got a sucky pressing, but it won't be played twice. Very quiet vinyl, but the recording sound almost dismembered compared to the MF copy. I will try one more pressing, and that would be by Capitol records. I saw this recommendation at Acoustic Sounds by one of the customers there. I will report good news when that happens. I still can't believe the difference. I will say that some of the drum parts are better in a way but that is about it. Very narrow soundstage too. yuk.

 

FWIW, I found a Capitol recording on eBay last. We'll see.

 Quoting myself. wow. Anyway, I will make this brief. Capitol recording came in. Only two things that I noticed. Not that distortion that I heard in the Harvest recording, but the running footsteps at the beginning of the recording were almost nonexistent. Bass was more distant as were the drums. I might pick it over the Harvest recording, yes, ok I would, but neither touched the Mobil Fidelity. I actually expected a much closer race. I will try again some day with either a different cart or phono pre.  'Thanks for listening'
