Steve is a very fair-minded individual. His perspectives are balanced and well thought out. He’s never overly critical about something that it turn people away but yet he’s sharp enough to give us clear perspectives about things in audio that are important. Great skills and encouraging to all. Anyone, even a veteran in audio, can learn from him. Thanks Steve.
Oh my God! Thank you so much. I feel a 100% at home in this moment that you both created. I belong in this atmosphere. I really do. My records, it’s history. The day i bought this and that, the different stereo systems i’ve had… i can play this episode on repeat, baby. I tell you. Thanks…
Words of wisdom. It's all about the music. I always think about my general electric portable turntable with fold out speakers when i first started really listening and collecting jazz records in my teens in the late fifties and early sixties. The joy of listening to the music! Whenever i find myself getting caught up in pressings, originals, equipment etc. i take a step back and recall those first experiences. This is my third and last collection as i had to sell the first two plus my beloved system when i hit financial difficulties in the late nineties ( oracle, audio research, vandersteen, smeV etc.). I can appreciate all these experiences because the music will always be there if iam. Great interview and insights!! Thank you.
Steve is always a joy to listen to... his perspective and even tone manor make him one of my favorite TH-camrs. I even bought that SME 15A & ortofon cartridge! Thanks for sharing!
Steve, the SME 309 is totally right! I've had one for 20 happy years! It holds the setting for a cartridge forever (unless one changes the cartridge). One is s-u-r-e the cartridge is working optimally. One can add the optional fluid damper for needy cartridges. The signal conductivity to the preamp is excellent (regardless of Mikey's note about multiple connections along the path). The SME 309 is un-substitutable! Cartridges love it! Owners love it!
And the 309 is a breeze for cart swaps, headshell off so it's a doddle to fit, then just line up on the rails, none of that sliding about in the shell, it's the best!
What I like about Ken’s channel the most is his vast knowledge and the fact that he, just like Michael Fremmer are very frank in their responses and in this day and age, it’s quite refreshing. This is a great interview as Steve is a great subject, but Ken’s ability to ask the right questions makes it even more interesting.
Def right about the mastering process, the artist involvement etc. That said it doesn’t change the fact that all pressings are not created equal. Some just sound better than others. The question is should you let that consume you or not. Also it can not be denied that there is a collectible aspect to records, some buy and sell almost daily. If you find a cleaner copy and you go to sell your old copy, a nice or original pressing will yield a better return of your money. Then you get into the life of the record and the mojo associated, the cool factor if you will. New artist, I buy new records. Everyone else gets the cleanest and most readily available (to me) copy I can afford or find.
I enjoyed this honest interview /conversation between you two music /vinyl freaks............ I mean even the name dropping was acceptable.......... All the best..........
Love the interview. On physical media: Completely agree. Having access to so much music so easily is actually detrimental to engaging with the music, IMHO. I know I am sounding like an old fart, but I think this is true across the board - ease of access means we don’t put effort into getting something and thus we don’t engage with it. This must be a known phenomenon and I should learn more about it.
Rudy Van Gelder was the only engineer in the pre-1970 period who really worked to get the mastering perfect. He was the only end-to-end engineer at the time, and cultivated a distinct type of sound. Musicians who liked his sound recorded at his studio, knowing what they would get. Among the most famous dissenters was Charles Mingus, who couldn't stand Van Gelder's sound.
I agree with you about RVG. He put out the most consistently good recordings of anyone. Sometimes I get a little annoyed at some of his techniques (piano recording) but overall he is hard to beat. I always liked Mingus songs and arrangements but his final product was always way too “dry” for me. He always hated Rudy’ use of reverb but Rudy recordings sound so much better to my ears.
"Angular" yet child-like. The best description of Monk's musoc I've heard. It grabbed me at a young age too and I never found it complicated either. I always heard "Well, You Needn't" as a 1960's sitcom theme with Dick Van Dyke tripping over the ottoman.
A very good interview. I've started putting people into one of two groups. Music Lovers or Audiophiles (Equipment) folks. Video upcoming. I put you in the music lovers group and Steve in the equipment group. Of course most people are a little of each. I'm a music lover.
I would put Steve in both groups, Steve has stated many times, he doesn’t care about pressings, formats, including he new MQA. Steve is a lover of music that he wants to hear sound as great as can be reproduced in his listening space. Writing about equipment is his business as he has also described, learning how to listen is personal. Ken is an obvious lover of music, being a musician, but Ken also wants his music to sound as great as possible in his listening space. Ken just chooses to write about both and Steve about equipment, but both are Audiophiles. If you are following Ken or Steve, equipment is a means to an end and both Ken and Steve are masters at conveying that message. Richard, if you think about the time and expense of setting up that nice system of yours, if Music was the only interest, you could listen on a Radio or Bluetooth and get enjoyment because you only want the music, but if you are an Audiophile you will spend the money and time to have what you love being reproduced at a great sound level. Steve has said and I agree embrace being both. You are an Audiophile Richard be proud of it, this is a message that Steve has discussed many times.
I used to tape music off of the radio and that music was some of the titles I cherished most. I later bought everything and then some. Cd revolution is coming as most vinyl gets totally hammered ie from bad cartridges to warping to excessive handling. The cd box set had about twice as much music as the typical vinyl box set. The response from labels will be quicker as cds are easier and faster to manufacture. Why today's record buyer abandoned cd's, I'll never know as so much stuff got reissued onto cd each year. The number of titles that came out each week on cd eclipsed this year's RSD by tenfold.
Vinyl sales have far eclipsed CD, and in fact nothing is much released on CD, mostly sreaming and vinyl. GO look for a CD player at Best Buy. Good luck. Why? Cause CDs sound like crap. Kids raised on crap MP3s heard vinyl and went made for it. VInyl sales have gone up 5% every year for the last ten years. now we have major labels reissuing everything, rock jazz and classical. IF used sales could be counted as I've said for years and as Forbes just reported, total sales of vinyl would be astronomical. CDs can get scratched and not play, the jewel-boxes fall apart, and there's nothing to look at or read. RIP CD. The only resurgence will be in box sets, which is already happening with Miles Davis, those CD box sets are very valuable.
@@mikrophonie5633 The hero for physical sales? Vinyl! Sales of vinyl records went up 10 percent from 2016. CDs however, decreased overall from the previous year, dropping by six percent. As for digital downloads, they fell pretty drastically, with track sales going down 25 percent and full album sales dropping 24 percent versus 2016. loudwire.com/vinyl-to-the-rescue-physical-albums-outsell-digital-sales-in-2017/
I bought Wayne Shorter's Night Dreamer 1st press stereo. I have to admit it sounds amazing. I would like to buy other blue note originals(and i will), but they are very expensive. That is why I've bought so many Music matters recordings. And they're expensive too!
Is he the "Sphere" you referenced in you Klipsch rp600m review? Just FYI, I picked those speaks up based on yours and Steve-O's glowing reviews. So happy with them, you were dead on on all accounts. Play them through my Primaluna amps...Dios Mio😘
Steve is right about different mastering, period....:-) To be serious, Steve really gets it, I totally agree 100%. There is so much Audiophile romantic about music/musicians/studios/mastering, it is childish. Lets have a reality check. Btw I am a musician all my live so I know a little.
So I'm curious if it's not inappropriate, how old is Steve? I'm 60 and have been slow to adapt. Just now building a CD collection and also revisiting my vinyl as well as loving Spotify at 320 kb/s. Are there stats on music listening technology adoption as per age cohort?
I enjoy Steve's take on things. And have been watching his channel for a while now. I would say that how a record is pressed is really what makes the difference more than the mastering. I have purchased pressing from some companies (Get Back) that are so bad that the mastering would not get through no matter what. The physical process of making the record makes the most difference to me. At least for now anyway. Thanks for the interview Ken. I hope you have Steve back soon. Charles
Internet forums, channels like yours, and social media makes finding the best combination of recording, pressing and mastering easier and cheaper than it ever has been. It’s a large part of the vinyl resurgence.
Labels like Get Back rely on the short copyright period in Europe. Many of them use the CD as their 'master', so even if the pressing were perfect it would still sound inferior to a record made from a real master tape.
@@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455 Yes, that's true. I'm just frustrated with crappy production of some really interesting music. Have a good weekend. Charles
I was thinking that it would be the guy from Police Academy. But seriously this Gutenberg is a cool. I have had a copy of West side story since I was a teenager in the 1980s . Be coolyy cool boy has some intervals that are more cool jazz than jazz
15:38 to 16:20 listen to what Steve is saying about format and time. I think a lot of the "camps" for Vinyl, CD or streaming miss this fact. Audio recorded to be produced on vinyl, typically sounds better on vinyl. A song recorded by a pop/rock/folk artist in the 90's, in my experience, does not offer the same magic when listening to a record over the CD, because the focus was not to make the record sound the best, but rather the CD. I have found some contentment in purchasing music on the medium that was the most popular at the time it was recorded. That and $5 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
Everyone ripped off Columbia House, that is why they are no more Sending records to different names with the same address Even my dog had her own account
@2:07 "Mastering is not making a literal one-to-one copy of the master tape" Yes, that is true. But why? What is on the master tape that is wrong? What compels the engineer to change it from what it is? Yes, that is what they get paid to do. But why are they being paid to do it? The only changes for which I am in favor would be the level of gain for each stem. This is to ensure that, for example, a guitar is not so loud that it hurts your eardrums (yet, there are countless examples of the gain being much too loud for this or that, or much too low for something else -- they just cannot seem to get it right).
That's a weird one Steve ... I'll take you to task on it. The music should not "mean" any less if you don't physically 'own it'. That's not what music is about. It's about how music touches 'you', not how you touch 'it'. If I hear the same tune on record, CD, file, and I will NOT stream, car radio ... it has the same effect on me. And I don't believe being a musician has anything to do with this either. Ok ... Carry on 😉
if you play a record more than 27 times the CO2 emissions will be is less than streaming for more than 27 times taking into account the manufacturing of the record
Cadenza blue ftw. Neg comments are just the other side of comments embrace them i pin the beneath my videos behind Every neg comment is someone who feels bad. So i say thank you I have been to a mastering studio to master a song of mine and imo the mix before mastering sounded smoother but the master had more punch. No need to choose one. Depends on the artist trent Reznor cares
The gentleman on Instagram that asked you what pressing your record was, looks at record reissue research as a hobby also, That is a extension of the audiophile hobby, not a audiophile credibility question, a pressing interest is a collector question.
Vinyl is a fad. Have fun with it, old guys, while you can. Soon you will be gone and so will the fad of vinyl. Remember... sound is in your head. Great interview, thanks Steve.
David Olson Vinyl sales have increased every year for the past 15 years at least 5% or more per year. It is now 13% of all album sales. And the New York used record stores are opening practically every month. That is happening globally as well. The only thing that is a fad is comments like this.
