Mahler's 1st. Just starting with the recent DG boxset. Am comparing it to the Sony boxset of CDs from Bernstein's 1st time thru the Mahler cycle of symphonies. Comparing the LP and CD is no real comparison............... the LP is considerably better from the get-go. Rhythm, pacing & timing considerably better, as is the sound-stage width & breadth. This is comparing the LP on my Sony PS-X75 with AT-VM740ML (a terrific MM cartridge to my ears) to my Oppo 103 CDP. Of course, it is just a bit of apples-to-oranges comparison as the CDs are from different times/orchestras/venues than are the LPs.
Tied to upload a picture of them, but the site's firewall is blocking same at this time.
