Crosby, Stills, & Nash A/B Listening with Graham Nash and Chad Kassem

[@TheInGroove]

This pressing is fantastic, and how awesome it is to get that confirmation from Graham Nash himself. Great video, and it's really nice to see the artist caring about the product that the end consumer is receiving.

Kinda surreal for Chad to be playing that track to the guy who wrote and recorded it! Amazing….🎶👍

[@thesurfacespins]

Chad, all CSN fans greatly appreciate the care you put into presenting this recording so faithfully and beautifully. And how cool to meet with Mr. Nash and get his approval as well! ❤

[@gavinshaunbeck5486]

The latest version is super great sound and beautiful.

Greetings from Perú. Excelent work Chad! Waiting for the next Génesis and Yes Titles

[@R3TR0R4V3]

Awesome! Thanks for the comparison. Keep up the great work, fellas! 🍻

[@CameraLaw]

Very cool. Better is one mode of comparison. More presence and a bit of reverb or a feeling of space. Sounds great. But with an album such as this that I bought the week it was released, and still own, I like hearing the same sound I heard back then, maybe with the same pops. From a memory standpoint, that’s the best!

[@bradleykay]

I wonder if Chad ever thought when he started Acoustic Sounds that he’d be A/B’ing with Graham Nash a CSN record he re-issued on his own label.

[@losendos8963]

I bought records from Chad "back in the day", when he had a little postage stamp sized ad in the back of publications like "Audio" magazine. He would play tracks over the phone!! It's pretty cool that he ended up here.

I bought this and it is magical…fantastic job Chad 🎉

[@GiveUsMusic]

When I A/B records or whatever source, I cue both sources to play in sync, so when I jump between channels the flow is seamless. Otherwise my ears get thrown off and I have to constantly recalibrate my internal processor so to speak. That’s some fancy equipment to not get it quite right, especially with Graham Nash sitting in to listen.

Like the shirt. I've had the original green for 30 yrs until I gave to my daughter.

[@franciscoop1063]

'Songs For Beginners' is clearly next then Chad...😉

[@stevenholquin2127]

Maybe We can Get a Stills Nash & Young Together

[@VinylGourmetTV]

Another great job! :D

[@hemantishwaran5741]

I need that setup in my music room

[@joannozburn]

Love the album Songs for beginners

[@festersuncle6298]

I have a UK original of Songs for Beginners......Top that Chaddie boy!!

[@TheLarsonmanor]

Is there a reason why Graham has his back to the speakers? How can he compare the two pressings when he's not facing the speakers.

[@christopher.cordova]

These are the same plates that Classic Records did, right? Michael Hobson and Bernie.

[@markh.9822]

I recently compared the AP 45 to an original UK plum and the AP 45 was so much better it wasn't even a comparison

[@Chattanoogachoochoo_0105a]

I personally thought the original press sounded better. But that's from listening through a phone, bad sound. WOOF!

[@paulbangash4317]

Graham , still a Manc ✨

[@rockguindon7154]

Where are the loudspeakers?

[@salvadorcalvoperez3892]

The analogue has a bigger sound

[@bhouser79]

Make Songs for Beginners happen!

[@MODAC]

45 rpm at beginning 😂

[@ralex3697]

The original in spite of the condition sounds better

[@stevenospam4216]

How do you account for Graham Nash himself disagreeing with you?

[@joebloggs8636]

You haven't a clue ,just yrying to be Mr.cool guy and you failed.

[@topekasub]

Chad’s pressing is definitely a warmer sound! That’s cool you stopped at Time Machine records in Topeka recently! I wish I would’ve been there!
