I prefer MC58, it's like MC29 but on a higher level
Posted 03 October 2020 - 11:53 AM
Could anyone please share a copy of MC58. I missed the time window for downloading it from the author's website - many thanks!

MC57: More pure and clear than MC56. Even the slightest hint of the high end boost / saturation / exciter effect seen in the earlier versions is gone. Yet the sound feels more open. Also much better bass. Oh my god, that bass... Deeper and... more open, for the lack of better term? At this point, it seriously feels like I'm listening to 1" tape.
MC58: More pure and clear than MC57. This version is so pure and clear almost to fault, it sounds boring compared to MC57. Less presence, more air. More relaxed, less perceived volume. A bit more depth maybe. Might be great on classical music. I prefer MC57.
MC59: Does something weird. Sounds almost like distortion.
MC60: Reminds me of MC58. It is soooo pure and natural... With a bit more presence and high-end detail than 58. But I probably still prefer 57, by a small margin. MC60 also might have the best stereo imaging so far. Damn, MC60 is objectively more hifi than MC57, more clear, open and extended in both low and high end, but I still prefer the excitement of 57 for some reason.
This makes me think, maybe I'm so used to hear digital artifacts I'm actually missing them when there are too little of them?
For me, oryaaaaa hit the spot with MC56/57.

MC57 is a gem!
If some of the next versions would be as exciting as 57, and as extended and holographic as 60 at the same time, it would be the pinnacle of digital playback.

I agree with your comments about MC57 and MC60 and they mirror my take on MC43 vs MC46. My preference changes by the track but MC57 is winning most often.
I haven't tried MC58 and MC59 yet.

Did anyone test audible differences with rewrite on SSD and HDD for the same track ? I will try and post my experience.
Update: Tested now and it seems that rewrite makes difference in positive way.
Test 1 external SSD track with rewrite
Test 2 external USB-HDD track without rewrite
Test 3 internal SSD track without rewrite
Test 1 was somewhat "juicier" overall compared to other options. You would not notice differences in blind testing, but you can hear it in unexplained way with better articulation and better front presence. I'd say around 2% improvement.
Test 2 and Test 3 was exactly the same, without audible difference.
Minority Clean v56 feels as if certain mid frequency is little bit cut which give effect of deeper bass. At the same time you can feel those missing frequencies in other instruments. Not necessary tool in my system, but certainly could help in other systems.

Normally, only the link to the latest MC version is inaccessible when a new version is about to appear. So...?

FYI - latest MC versions could be found in my signature.
Apparently the main page should be restored (at least for now) and we could compare the differences between previous snapshot versus the current one

I was browsing around looking for a current link for Rewrite Data and found a link for 3.82. A while later, I figures I would open the zip file and found that it contained Minority Clean 61. Sorry I can't provide the original link. I can't remember where if found this archive. This Mega link will enable anyone interested to download. This is the zip file exactly as it came down earlier this morning:
