'Mr Pristine's' version apparently has very poor phase stability @c.26% - whereas even my 'slightly defective' initial transfer of Brahms 4 was @ 87%!! A 'Fanfare' review castigated the 'Pristine Audio' LP dubbings..

Slightly re-edited October 2022 and now 4 movements. Transferred with a JVC Z-1 Shibata cartridge. Slight stylus suspension fault which didn't seem to affect the sound - but could be seen on the RH channel waveform. The JVC Z-1 uses the same Beryllium cantilever but the Coils aren't 'laminated' -so has a lesser performance than the JVC X-1 Shibata (used extensively on the 'Historical' blog)    Sleeve-note >>>

This 1960 matrix also sonically much superior to a later transfer ('-7') in the 1970s SLS box-set (and as almost certainly used by 'Mr Pristine'..).  See screenshot - also showing the precise channel balance on the 1960 mastering (sampled with a new Shure M95HE).
