These 180g reissues seem to be circulating quite a bit at Half Price Books.
I think these reissues are pretty good, but the playback volume level seems to be a bit low...
Have you noticed this as well?

some dynamic recordings are intentionally mastered at a lower level to accommodate the dynamic range of the performance.
example: matt catingub's :your friendly neighborhood big band" is this way on one side due to wide dynamic range. it may well have lunched the cutting process if done at the usual level. the label-reference recordings made that decision rather than compress or peak limit the disc.

Frenchmon,
Love that album by J.H. !! I think that is one of his best. I have it on digital file, so it must be even more fantastic on wax! When did you get the Bel Canto? -

No, I have not heard one before; curious really of what you thought of it? I have noticed lately that many people on Audiogon are selling very good integrated in order to buy, or have just purchased Bel Canto's.
Something in the air? -

I gave a few thoughts of what I thought over at the " Digital Domain & Computer Audio" thread.

Just got my copy of the Steve Hoffman double LP Fleetwood Mac rumours a few days ago. Sounds awesome too, very impressed.
