I was going through some vinyl rips and found two of 'Lucky Man' from ELP; one with the Zyx R100H and the other with my Zyx Omega-G. I didn't normalize the levels; the R100H rip was recorded 'hotter' than the Omega-G. The R100H was recorded using my Presonus Inspire recording interface (Wolfson ADC converters) and the Omega-G was recorded using an Apogee 48K/24bit rack mount ADC with Cirrus Logic CS5396-KM ADC converters. Both recordings were made using my Audio Research PH5 preamp and Wireworld Eclipse II cables. The samples below are 256k CBR MP3's.
