Lacquer cut by Jeff Powell. I listened to my 24bit [flac] download and was amazed by the deep, detailed fidelity. So how does this compare? I like it better! This bests the 24bit digital as the guitars are hotter and "crunchier" on top and the bass it a bit tighter. The midrange has a wonderful texture in the organs, harmonica and vocals and has a deep 3D image. But the [flac] sounds great too, just not as aggressive on top. You can't go wrong with either, but this really comes alive from the needle-drop. Highest recommendation.
Final Grade: 4
