Impex One Step Getz Gilberto Review and Comparisons

The new Impex Getz/Gilberto One Step is the latest release in their acclaimed One Step series of audiophile quality reissues of classic albums. In this video I take you through my own remembrances of the album, and give you a deeper look at the incredible work involved with this release. I also had a chance to do some comparisons with several of the other audiophile versions that are out there, and let you know the differences I heard. 00:00 Introduction 00:22 Tone Poet Giveaway 00:59 Personal Memories 03:50 About the Stereo Master Tape 05:27 About Impex 06:38 Visual Elements 09:54 The Booklet 12:19 The Technology 14:49 The Mastering Engineer 16:04 Comparisons and Conclusion There is a sneak preview video where I unbox the release you can view here: https://youtu.be/ah6TCacBaCs?si=nqxELg4nvRnyeWDJ The Milestone Giveaway Video is here: https://youtu.be/jcCc7mWy27E 1STEP Process 180g 45rpm Triple LP Pressed on VR900-Supreme Vinyl!
