Living Stereo Masquerade/The Comedians VG+ Vinyl LSC-2398 Shaded Dog 1S/1S
This is universally acclaimed as one of the greatest classical recordings of all time. The RCA Living Stereo LSC 2398 Masquerade Suite and The Comedians pressed on vinyl at the RCA Indianapolis pressing plant in 1960. This one sounds amazing and really shows off your system well. Though it is not without clicks and pops in some sections, upon listening, most of these are overpowered. I mostly noticed the pops in the second movement of the Masquerade Suite, but less so during the 4th (the quietest movements) and less so again during The Comedians, though still present.
Shaded Dog, Indianapolis, 1S/1S and treated by a former owner with LAST (a long standing material used on records by audiophiles in order to reduce friction on the record surfaces). This was bought from an audiophile's collection.
Thank you for having a look!
