So with those caveats, here's the 2 recordings. A casual poll among friends was split between those who had no preference and those who preferred the GR, but it was a small sample. Since we seem to have a lot of people here with very sophisticated ears and taste, I'd be curious both what you prefer, and what the differences are you hear.

I listened to the 2 recordings using my equator D5 monitors (in an untreated space). To me, recording A seemed to have more focus/detail and clarity and recording B seemed to have more depth and seemed more open. That said, they are also very close in character to my ear; both being very good recordings. If I had to choose, and for what I like to hear, I'd probably go for A.
