It (Really) Sounds Incredible!

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, September 7, 2023 by mugen808 This album is very nice, but I am not rating the music. It is easy to listen to it on streaming platforms and make your own opinion about it.

What I am rating here instead, is the sound of this release vs other formats. It is incredibly superior to anything else, including DSD.

The range is huge, especially bass. It feels like other format were cut in frequencies. The sound is so full and so dense, the gain is naturally high, it sounds extremelly raw and vivid. It sounds like live performance.

For anyone who doesn't own this type of tapes already, i guess you are wondering if you should buy it considering the price. There is no absolute answer. What I can say is that, if that kind of money is no issue for you, then get it! It is no rip off, it has a very specific character nothing else can achieve and sounds superior by far to any other format.

If you do not have that type of budget, don't torture yourself tho. Until you listen to this, CD is great!
