And of course there was the Onegin of the Onegins: the performance in 1955 by Boris Khaikin with Bolshoi Orchestra & Chorus in studio of Moscow Radio Center.
Ah, I was spinning today the Khaikin’s Onegin’55. You feel that Bolshoi Orchestra in 50s had no tone? You feel that 1955 recording was lucking anything of something?  You are quite wring and here is where my new lover midrange channel show up itself in it’s full bloom. Being precisely dialed-in the new channel gave a very dramatic feeling of “complexity”. It is like an apple from Connecticut archery vs. an apple that was growing in South France soil – the different earth, different minerals and the different taste – whoever tried the South France fresh food would know what I mean.

Say whatever you want about the sound of Russian orchestras: obnoxious brass, crappy woodwinds and many other things….  but when Russian cello and viola sections come to hit then there is nothing like they. The new “fundamental channel” clearly showed it off in full glory. It is very funny but I very distinctly sensed it, even listening Onegin’55 from “behind the corner”, lying in my bathtub dozens feet from my playback.

It juts came to me that the “fundaments channel” does the effect of SPUnization only the effect if completely manageable and tunable. If you know the lower midrange and upper bass of some SPU cartridges then you know what I mean….

The most horrible of them the ordinal Melodia double-box CD. This set is so “hot” that it even poisoning.

Running those disks on NESPA Optical Disc Finalizer cures the  problem very-very substantially!
