just ludicrous. Time to hunt for that Dynaflex I guess. Some aren't as sucky as I had been led to believe.

Or is this not a Dynaflex?

Funny how your rig playing this song, squashed down on youtube, still sounds better than my Cd.
Is Mondays show going to be about Bowie related artists? Hope so.

Never had this on vinyl and only ever had the CD and the whole album did not do much for me.
Then last year I got Transformer on Speakers Corner Records vinyl and was blown away and totally "got it". It was only then that I could hear what Lou was doing on this album. Just amazing!
The CD totally sucks compared to a decent vinyl of it.

Looking forward to tomorrow's show, I hope you play some Glenn Frey!

I have dynaflex vinyl of records by Bowie, Lou, Harry Nilsson, and Michael Nesmith and they all sound fine. I

t's in the mastering, and not the weight of the pressing. Also, the RCA vinyl is really shiny/slick/slippery, possibly from anti-static additives introduced in the Living Stereo era and still in use 15 years later.

Not to mention, Dynaflex was pressed on virgin vinyl. They used less of the good stuff opposed to other labels who used more of the questionable/regrind stuff during the shortages (or cost cutting). I have never heard a bad one yet, but they don't take abuse as well as other records.

All the gripes way back when about the Dynaflex introduction boiled down to reduced dynamics in the cutting . . . and since few rock records exceed 12db dynamic range it does not surprise me that the rock titles sound okay.

Dynaflex reissues of classical titles (like the Fiedler "Gaite Parisienne") were pretty wretched!!

I have some great sounding Dynaflexes also... and some bad ones. I have some well played ones that really sound bad... maybe because of the softer, or thinner vinyl, they wear more easily? But mint ones can sound nice. They are also more prone to warping (contrary to original RCA statements, I believe)... I've seen a few that are warped like potato chips.

So easy, so effortless, so relaxed and yet detailed. These are TEXTBOOK attributes for what is high definition, REAL sound that's impossible to convey to people that haven't heard it. The fact that I can pick up these cues over a lossy Internet stream and played back on a laptop and inexpensive headphones should be a wakeup call to all the doubters.

How are you able to put these up to YouTube and not get dinged by their "Copyright Police"?
