Re: [ARSCLIST] Murcury Living Presence LP EQ

[Tom Fine <tflists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sammy:

Mercury used AES EQ until 1954 when everyone standardized on the RIAA curve. The AES curve is very 
close to RIAA and I doubt most people could hear the difference. You could tweak the treble EQ to 
suit your hearing. There's not much information above 12K on those old LPs anyway.

Fennell went back and recorded some or all of this in stereo, and the CD is still in print:

I will guarantee you it will sound much better than an early 1950's LP.
