Thought I'd listen again in case I was missing something, Nope. ...FITD is clearly more in-tune, you can say what you want about different elements of the tracks "sounds" but I simply go by the Tune -how well the band is playing together- and in the end that will always win out for me and what keeps me listening to a system long term.

Bopping along to Talking 1!

Found Talking 2 hard to listen to in comparison

I'm preferring Talking 1 over Talking 2, it sounds more natural and realistic.

I agree, T1 is more in-tune.

Looking pretty unanimous regarding Talking1. What are we comparing?

UC3 is the "least" in-tune. :)

As I said to Fredrik. It’s Ok, we all make make mistakes!

I found these too hard to choose. The difference between talking 1 and 2 was very immediate, but these sound too close to call for me

To be honest, both your comparisons send me back into the early 80's, when I had a Marantz turntable and then a Luxman...

I'd prefer to do the reveal after I've read the thoughts and comments of the person that prompted me to publish them...

In the meantime would you care to share your thoughts on the You See clips?

That was a really easy one - and they are not always like that. 1 for me too.

Talking 1
Lindsey, It would nice to get a reveal on this set of recordings as it seems pretty unanimous. I doubt the person you want to evaluate this recording would have a different take.
