ReviewWhen searching this on the net once I got it home, I saw continual references to the Dynagroove aspect of it, and some none too flattering appraisals of this system introduced by RCA.
My joy at finding a fairly early Itzakh Perlman stereo record was threatened with being deflated by the prospect at having bought a turkey.
But having bitten the bullet, and given it a spin, I have to say, I can't see (or rather, hear) what the fuss is all about...
...The sound is great to my ears, albeit on admittedly limited equipment.
(Maybe higher end kit reveals shortcomings that I can't detect)
But the pacey, intricate concertos here are open full, detailed, and in some parts, a fair bit of weight to them... quite natural sounding too.
Maybe there was some kind of issue with this system not being sympathetic to the equipment of the time of release?
But I don't think - based on this album at least - there's anything to be concerned about that would warrant it being dismissed out of hand.
(I do have a couple of other Dynagroove records (Including a full symphony), that I will try, and see if they have any issues).
