Kind of Blue

Product Information

Outstanding sound, which I can really appreciate with my headphones on. This will be played much more than my MoFi 45rpm version though flip between the two when feeling nerdy. Listening to my UHQR Kind of Blue for the third time since I got it! Man I just have to thank you for this, deathly silent and perfect mastering. Keep doing what you’re doing Chad! Keeping the vinyl dream alive! The two Classic Records reissues sound closest to the new UHQR and to suggest that the UHQR is a “must have” if you have either of those or the Quiex 200g version would be hyperbolic so I’m not going to suggest that, but were you to buy the UHQR and your turntable is sufficiently resolving, precise and quiet, the difference between the Classic and QRP UHQR is significant, almost like putting on 3D glasses or focusing an out of focus pair of binoculars—never mind the focus difference between the UHQR and the original pressing. The final straw that banned me permanently was when I posted 2 threads: one in which I stated my unequivocal antipathy toward the use of illicit drugs, and then an friendly question inquiring about how many of the guys were married, and if married, then married to biological female wives.

Once again you use non-sequiturs in your rhetorical bullshit question: "Would that make me a liar with no understanding of mold making and casting of semi rigid materials?" Again, you did no work for vinyl production. None. You lie by implication that you have knowledge about this. You don't. You have theory based on your knowledge of materials sciences and mechanical engineering. History was on the side of Kind of Blue; it was born in 1959, at the peak of the golden age of high-fidelity, featuring innovations in studio equipment (magnetic tape, high-quality condenser microphones), matched by advancements in home audio reproduction (long-player records — LPs; high-end turntables, and other stereo components). The lasting value of a recorded masterpiece lies not only in the notion of reaching and grasping the music itself, but in using it as a doorway to other pathways. Kind of Blue, it can be argued, earns its accolades less for its continuing sales or critical popularity, and more for its long-serving role as the portal for so many who come to jazz for the first time.SMT, Lened, Toolex Alpha, Finebilt hand presses and others have not too difficult to discern sonic characteristics. So I have to laugh when I read comments like “if you have a Classic Records pressing of Kind of Blue “you are all set”. inch Vinyl Record 140 / 150 Gram Vinyl Record 180 Gram Vinyl Record 200 Gram Vinyl Record 45 RPM Vinyl Record 7 inch Vinyl D2D Vinyl Record Low Serial Numbered Vinyl Record Multi-Format Box Sets Preowned Vinyl Record Sealed Out-of-Print Vinyl Record System Set Up Record UHQR Vinyl Record Vinyl LP Box Sets - New & Preowned Preowned Vinyl Box Sets Vinyl Box Sets Vinyl LP with Damaged Cover Vinyl Record Vinyl Record & CD Vinyl Record & DVD Vinyl Record, DVD & CD Vinyl Test Pressing I was thrilled that this was coming out. I bought 4 copies from different sources. The one I opened had tons of pops and surface noise... I was stunned. I can only hope the other copies I got later down the road are better. Right now my FLAC copy is my favorite. I cleaned my playing copy twice but no improvement. Hope yours is better. What can I say, You rally don't know what words mean. In this case "truth." But it is a word that is largely adored and equally misunderstood by those with intense religious beliefs. It continues to be one of the most listened-to and studied recordings of all time, a required primer for many young musicians, and one of the most transcendent pieces of music ever recorded.

The 200-gram records will feature the same flat profile that helped to make the original UHQR so desirable.

Notes

Is it possible to now write anything that hasn’t already been written or said about this record? I haven’t any fresh insights to offer that might advance what you probably already know. A good Kind of Blue pressing puts you in the 30th Street studio to hear the performance. Ashley Kahn’s “Kind of Blue” book sets the pre-recording stage, offering both musical and technical details and puts you as much in the control room as in front of the band. Would become an issue eventually. Wear on the mothers or stampers will depend on how many copies are made from them. I don't know how many copies Classic pressed of the 33 KoB across 15 years and all of their vinyl formulations, but I'd believe it if you said the AP 25,000 exceeds it. In its three-decade-plus history, Mobile Fidelity has never been prouder to have the honor of handling efforts as important as Davis' key recordings. It's why the our engineers took every available measure to transport listeners to the March and April 1959 sessions that parlayed modal jazz into mainstream language. The blueprint for melodic improvisation and vamping, Kind of Blue simplifies tonal organization and chordal progression into an eminently beautiful, introspective tapestry stitched with swinging poetry, mellifluous soloing, compositional lyricism, transcendental harmonies, and group interplay of the highest caliber. So by this logic one has to actually work specifically in pressing records to have "knowledge about this." And if not they are a liar when expressing any assertions of fact regarding vinyl. So by that logic even a leading R&D scientist in advanced plastics would have "no knowledge" on the subject pressing vinyl records because he or she has not been directly making actual vinyl records. OTOH you give Fremer a free pass on the subject. How much hands on experience does Fremer have in making records? More to the point how much hands on experience does he have in pressing records with and without the vibration controls in place? How is his assertion of it's effectiveness any less a "lie?" My only complaint is the big ol' box is kinda annoying. I just put the LP on my shelf in a sleeve without it.
