Every time I listen to this post I get impressed all over again. There is something very filling about listening to it...and watching as the stylus glides across the sleek black disk. Audio-video excellence...
I have a different experience each time I listen to this soundtrack...it is always good. I think this will be the reference track for every audio system that I test and listen to. The imaging is phenomenal!
Excellent sound and remarkably sharp video picture. One of the best I have seen on UA-cam. The Ortofon Kontrapunkt does an admirable job extracting sound from that vinyl!

As usual with Dire Straits, great production/arrangement. Mark Knopfler is an excellent lyricist, and he shows it here. Pleasantly quirky song. Nice sound here, thank you
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! These great videos inspired me to take my M&L Quest speakers out of storage.Ride across the river hasn't sounded so good since 91 when they were new.
FFS people, yes - it IS a digital master - yes, it was recorded digitally - yes it was transfered to vinyl (1) - yes, it was played (2) and ripped (3) to digital again - yes, it is uploaded to youtube again digitally - and YES it sounds better than original digital. Why? Because PHYSICS! You cannot transfer digital to vinyl as digital in (1) - material itself cannot be fully "digitalized". Also in (2) you have something called inertion from needle/head who does not fully follow "digital" (analogized) grooves on vinyl - and by these two is how we are getting "analogized" signal from digital master. It is that analog signal ripped in (3) which is different than original - now it has that gramophone touch - vinyl/material "analogization" and needle/head inertion. And that my friends, is SOUL of vinyl listening. Is it better than digital? That's up to you and your ears if they like it :)
Isso não é tão somente uma música perfeita do Dire Straits... isso é uma passagem pra profundeza da tua alma. Ouça e desfrute a feito uma pessoa caminhando por uma floresta inexplorada 🎵🎶😌
The original recording from 1985 was a 16/44.1 digital recording. MFSL are well-known for making completely different masters for their vinyl and CD editions. I can't say if this was the case with this album, but I know for a fact they they do it routinely, and others have demonstrated this very clearly as well. Add to this that even if the vinyl and CD master in this case was the same master, the playback equipment would change the sound as well as no phono cartridge has a completely flat frequency response. Most phono cartridges deviate from flat with at least 2-3 dB or more. Many expensive cartridges deviate with much more than that - 6-10 dB, and they command these high prices exactly because they have a certain "sound", meaning a non-linear frequency response (although it should be said that some expensive cartridges are quite flat). Almost all CD players/DACs are linear within 0.1 dB. Although I haven't seen a measurement of the Ortofon Kontrapunkt, I've seen measurements of 10 other Ortofon cartridges, and they all have a spike/upwards bump in the frequency response around 10-12 kHz, and often a smaller dip in the harshness region. This creates a relaxed yet airy sound. Finally, this phono amplifier uses tubes. Although I haven't seen a measurement for this phono preamp, tubes often change the frequency response as well, although this is not always the case, and it might be less the case in a tube phono preamp than in an actual amplifier driving speakers.
@@mcnyregrus Exactly. If you like real "High Fidelity" - not "High End" Snake Oil or fairy tales about "analog sounds closer to the source" - buy a 200€ CD Player and just enjoy good music.
@@christopherhafer3783 Ah, yes, here we go again: yet another fool who claims that 'High Fidelity' necessarily means it must automatically be better than the analogue sound. In my (highly subjective) opinion, a €200 CD player will not reproduce audio with the same drive precision or soundstage as a half-way decent record player (for example, I own a Rega Planar 6, which is a simply brilliant turntable for the money). By my reckoning, to achieve good CD audio playback quality, you're looking at *at least* €460 for a Marantz 6007 or a Cambridge Audio CXC, for example; if you want to match my Rega's drive precision, frequency and dynamic accuracy, channel separation, and soundstage, then you're easily looking at something like the Quad Artera Play+ or the Cambridge Audio Azur 851C - at a minimum, these retail for €1,499.00 and €1,699.00, respectively - and as much as €2,256.00 for the Cyrus CDi if you wish to better it. And, as with digital media in general, unless it's the original master in SACD format, the compression on a CD makes it no better than a well-mastered vinyl recording: in other words, one format is not inherently better than the other. Sure enough, a digital recording will typically have a more neutral sound and generally also comes pre-mastered with a higher dynamic range, but the reason some people prefer vinyl has little to do with the pursuit of "technical" perfection or "loudness" and more to do with what sounds musically pleasant and emotionally evocative - and music being an entirely subjective domain, who is anyone to say it should simply be reduced to that which is technically perfect when to do so risks the removal of that which makes it sound musical in the first place? Don't get me wrong: a well-mastered CD, on a decent player, can sound brilliant, but in my experience, this is the exception as most digital music sources just sound sterile, too clinical, and all-in-all, entirely lacking in that certain musical something. You listen to what you enjoy, but don't pretend as though your preferences are universally true.
@@feliscorax Get some basic information about Analogue AND Digital Audio before your continue to state all this "highly subjective" crap and calling others "fools". That's just rude. You are surely not even interested in objective, scientistic details about what you are talking about. You are in the big camp of "believers", fed by the sellers and manufacturers with all kinds of bullshit. No, CDs are not compressed (!!). No, your Rega-TT (or ANY!) is not better sounding than a cheap CD-Player. It has almost no sound at all. Add a cartridge and the rest of your chain. Speakers will make 60% of your listening experience, 38% of it is the room, so you have 2% to blame the rest of the system. If you are smart enough do some blind tests. Thank me later. And try to comprehend the big differences between "Player and actual record / Hard-Software", "Audio-Myths and Hard Science", "What you think with your /anyone's limited hearing abilities is right and what is really meant with "High Fidelity" and "close to the source". Last but not least: Try to understand that emotions are never part of any audio-system, it's in the music and will trigger your brain if your are in the right mood, even if it is played over a shitty phone-speaker.
@@christopherhafer3783 I’ve got enough information to form a valid and reasonable opinion on the subject, pal. As for being rude - that’s your problem. You are entitled to your opinions, just as much as I am, but as I said, I do consider it foolish if you think the whole approach favoured by those who prefer (note: it’s a preference, just as some prefer the sound of vinyl) CD and other digital sources is inherently superior as a musical experience. It isn’t, regardless of how much it might *technically* be claimed as such (and even that’s a dubious proposition: vinyl is just as capable of handling dynamic range and frequency response as CD). *Subjectively*, you’re full of feculent matter, because what you consider to be a good sound is most probably not the same as my idea of it (and for good reasons as mentioned both in my previous and my response below).
Great job, great sound, in the top 3 of the Vinyl channels :) Listening with Chord HUGO and Audeze LCD3 m sounds very very good, thanks for giving us that oprtunity
Consistently, this channel has one of the best set-ups for full spectrum vinyl recordings within the limitations of UA-cam audio compression. Thank-you!
Yes, I'm listening to this on youtube via computer. But the low level output from my computer goes to my Pioneer Home Stereo, 100wpc, to the equalizer, out to 2 Klipsch tower speakers. It's maybe not audiophile quality, but I am hearing lots of detail and the bass is so groooovy and warm. And I love the stereo separation. Headphones can't give this good.
HiFisquarepants, I shit you not, I was listening to Brothers in Arms yesterday and thought how cool it would be if you uploaded Ride Across The River. Well fuck me if it isn't here one day later! You are awesome!
That random fiber that found it's way to tip of the needle was holding my attention ; ). Sounds wonderful! Analog has superior sound but records take up space & like turntables require great care in handling them. Thanks HiFisquarepants..
A decent turntable has no sound (other than noise) . It's the pickup, especially the needle. A 1200 sounds exactly like a good belt drive- player with the exact same pickup-system.

I don't love Dire Straights due to Mark Knopfler's singing, I love them for the instrumentation, and this song epitomizes that sentiment. That ruby cantilever looks pretty darn cool (and expensive).
Dire Straits - Ride Across The River - My First Audio Love : Nothing since that first magical moment has ever impressed me as much. This is my (and to all my friends') reference Track when auditioning any new audio equipment ever since.
Cicadas and crickets sound better from your equipment/record than on my CD ver. and surprisingly bass is so deep, the rest is almost identical like from CD-player. I prefer CD over Vinyl record because of no pops and clicks and overall durability and easiness to use. But the look of your equipment (spinning vinyl record) is (give a breath) awesome! Nothing compares...
Let us mourn for the Turntable, or better- I should say mourn for us. The Turntable, what Music is meant to be played on, to feel the True vibration of each Tune.
I used to play this song beyond loud every saturday night for years. crystal clear it was. So much power in the different intsruments recorded. So seperated, still so together. It is a gem. And of course, the guitar, you know.. Crank this one up!
God,this brings back so many memories...I saw Dire Straits in Birmingham in 1985.
This is my favorite, the Dynamics, the instruments, the strings and that deep Bass and kick Bass ..... Simply a great listening experience !
Best analog source sound quality I've ever heard on UA-cam
+Ben Pryor Thank you Ben, that's very kind of you 🤘
Ben Pryor superb sound quality mate!
@@HiFisquarepants Sorry but that post should have been to you! Superb sound quality!
Its Digital - Digital - Analog (DDA) i think. But yes, it shows how important the mastering cut is even for a digital recording.
only that this album was completely recorded digitally in 1985.
Every note is just so clear. The drums and bass guitar really reach out and grab you. Knopfler is always good, but the rest of the guys shine on this one.
Damn! I haven't listened to this in forever and had forgotten about that BASS! Thank you, sir!
How can 18 people dislike this? It's a masterpiece!
one can prefer something different than another - that is why not all like the same dishes, same colour, same smell and some music some people prefer rhythm than melody other noise than silence
I like this piece but if someonne don't it is up to she/him ...

@@PaxHominibusBonaeVoluntatis it was a rhetorical question
some people just don't know good music
no beats, no terrible voices, no bad sound directing , no basses)))
Those are people who listen to music with $5 headphones
I wasnt even aware of this track until now, this is killer, the instrument separation is just wow and that bass kick.
Wonderfully rounded and tonal bass. WOW! Best sound on YT, for sure. One of my fave songs in the world too!
Stunning sound ! What nice memories of the first time I heard it, 31 years ago !
