Thank you for playing Black Cow! Even though it's over UA-cams sound limitations, i can tell that everything is brighter and lifelike. Your system is phenomenal!
You have to read the inner sheet that explains Clarity/Virgin vinyl and how the UHQR was made. Yes it does make a difference. 👍It’s not colored, the are no dyes. It’s much quieter vinyl. This Steely Dan sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Love this Aja UHQR As bad as Pretzel Logic was they redeemed themselves Very nice sampled online recording - what do uou use Minimal talking Straight to the music And comments at the end Enjoyed your post
What are you talking about this is a special vynl that has no dyes it’s basically virgin. It’s not how something LOOKS it’s how it SOUNDS. Pre clean your records to get the surface dirt off then use an ultrasonic system like the degritter which removes things you can’t even see OMG
I think most are use to the black vinyl and it is strange even though there are so many variations now to see the vinyl in a different appearance other than the standard black ..This silver white what ever you call it formula of vinyl might be used because of less static build up but I am only guessing .
Almando! great video and great set-up. You're making me think about picking up this Aja UHQR... I have the 45rpm Kind of Blue, A Love Supreme, etc. and so why not? The vinyl is a specific vinyl recipe, if you will, that ensures smoother, more silent play. All the carbon is removed, essentially. Cheers from Seattle!
I have a like/dislike relationship with the Dan. Great musicianship, great production, great sonics, but lacking the fundamental energy of music that moves people. Their earlier stuff gets close.
I'm fanatic about getting every speck of dust off of my records before playing, and you just can't see it with the clear vinyl. Black is the best in my mind.
Thanks for the video. I just wish you would have proivded a direct audio feed into the video rather than through a microphone from a camera or cellphone.
I also have the UHQR Aja and I’ve noticed two sonic qualities: firstly it’s a little cold sounding and the bass could have been bumped up to warm up the sound. Second, the vocals are harsh sounding and need to be tweaked.
@@hestonblumenthal4263not exactly true. I’ve compared the AB and the UHQR with many people and we all agree that the UHQR is slightly more boosted on the low highs which makes the snare sound weird. We think it’s probably because the UHQR was sourced from a copy tape because the original master tapes are lost. Even if you say the UHQR is a bit better, it’s not worth $100 more than you could get a NM AB for.

With that equipment you could play a paper plate and it would sound good - classic LP sounds awesome 😎
Thanks for the video. Can't wait to hear my copy. Supposedly the UHQR vinyl is as pure as you can get. Organic vinyl if you will
Such a step up from my gramaphone!

I have that same Denon DP59L I bought new in 1980s....still play it all the time.
Beautiful package. That Denon is sweet. Sounds good on headphones man
Talk about Audiophile Heaven! That Hardware you own is to say the least Top Notch for sure!!
Great opening track. Impressive set up and sound.
Love this Aja UHQR

What speakers are you using? Didn't see those. Sounds great!
Wilson Audio Alexia speakers.
Impressive set up! Thanks for sharing.
Cymbals sound much more open, as do the transients from the keys.
That Denon DP 59-L! 🔥

Wow the bass is so pronounced. As well as the other nuances but the bass especially pops.
UA-cam won't do it justice.
Thanks Almando. Sounds great!
Outstanding
That is one impressive setup. Hopefully i will own something Mcintosh before i go to the big listening room in the sky.
It is just like Steely Dan is in the room with me! :-)

Rippoff at &$150. Sacd is 35 clams
Sounds very good.
You have all this Macintosh stuff perhabs the preamp with usb and with that you can record it in 192 24 and put it in an Video
I don't do any analog to digital conversion, at least not yet.
You did that with the camera. If you woud use your high quality Equipment this woud be one of the best UA-cam Channels in the world...
@CANKRAFTWERK
I took the videos with my Galaxy Fold 4 and a USB mic when i remember to connect it. No fancy camera.
For a UHQR is the record not really flat🤔
Its a pitty it still sounds like Steely Dan ☺️

Where are you located? I am in Honolulu for a week and would love to hear your setup.
Do you know Audio Lab in Honolulu? The owner can guide you to me.
Thanks for the video. I just wish you would have proivded a direct audio feed into the video rather than through a microphone from a camera or cellphone.
Yes. a quality mic set up at the listening position would have made all the difference. Looks as if the wallet would stretch that far.
What model is the Denon Turntable you are playing it on? Cartridge?
Thanks
DP-59L turntable but I can't make out the cartridge.

How much did you spend on the whole setup???
I hear a lot of distortion in the vocals of this version of Sja. The others are fine.
I cleaned my UHQU version before I put it on the TT. No distortion, clicks or pops...
why do not you answer me? you disappeared after we stayed what happened
Laura, monique
I have a AB 1006 .WHY SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY FOR RE RELEASES !
Because this sounds better than the OG
