The first of the new Decca RCAs just arrived! Woohoo! Will give them a spin tomorrow and compare them to the CR Reissues.

Very cool. Have to check because I don't remember receiving an email that mine were shipped.
Did you get the earlier Witches Brew from Classic? (Maybe my memory is failing but I thought Chad had put it out a year or so ago at 45 rpm but I'll be damned if I can find the copy.)
The original RCA release and Arnold's Tam O'Shanter has been a reference cut for me for 35 years.
I also introduced HP to the album.

Myles, I was the first person to subscribe to this new series, at least that's what Karen at AS told me. I subscribed the following business day after you announced its availability on one of the forums. ;-) But I would've thought they would go by subscription number (I'm #72, same as the previous RCA sub).Originally posted by MylesBAstor View PostVery cool.

Anyway, you should be getting yours soon...
And to answer your question, yes, I have the CR Reissue - 33 and 45rpm s/s version. :-)Last edited by allenh; 02-06-2016, 02:08 PM.Kronos Sparta -> Trinity Phono -> Trinity Pre -> CH Precision A1 -> Magico S7sComment

I will have to find it and look, but I think it is a 1s/2s.Micro Seiki SX-8000 table with flywheel, SME 3012R arm, SME 312S arm, Lyra Etna SL and Dynavector XV-1S cartridges, ARC Ref 3 phono stage, Otari MX-55 tape deck, Ampex 350 repros, Roon Nucleus Plus server, PS Audio DSJ DAC, ARC Ref 6 pre, ARC Ref 75 amp, Parasound JC5 amp, JBL 4345 speakers, and Def Tech Ref subs.Comment

I missed this subscription. Looking forward to impressions vs CR versions. I may have to buy a few of these re-issues. They did such a good job on the RCA series which I did subscribe for. Imo the quality record RCA re-issues are for the most part subjectively better than CR 33...especially from a pressing (quiet) standpoint. I still think the 45 rpm classic record's titles are the one's to have if you have a choice of one over the other. In the end, it's best to just have both and call it a day.Comment
