But that effect wasn’t overdone. Riding like a carrier wave on top of the fruity sense of texture was a speedrunning way with transients. It was a B-1 bomber with an F-22 Raptor escort. The Tragically Hip’s Fully Completely is a charming record, in spite of the slightly muddy sound quality of my OG copy (MCA Records 0254704109). Listening to “Pigeon Camera” really loud was instructive here. Johnny Fay’s drums just leaped out of the speakers. From the crisp hi-hat right through the snappy snare, I found myself focusing more on the various aspects of the percussion than usual. This is a lithe, quick cartridge. Maybe it’s the light tracking weight, or maybe the stiff ceramic cantilever? Who knows? Regardless, there was a speed to its presentation that was intensely compelling.
