ArkivMusic Cds any takers?

Drubin have you bought any Cds from them? Have you noticed they are all reissued from well known labels and artist.I am asking how their Cds are made, are they burnt Cds or taken from a PC download. They all come with art work but no info at all. I am just curious about the sound and how they STACK UP to the original commercial Cds?

Brownsfan thank you for your input. I was wondering about comparisons with the ArkivMusic Cd and original commercial issued Cd.

Drubin not at all if you check the label listings on ArkivMusic it reads from A to Z with every well known label. There's the ever popular labels such as Mercury,Decca,london,harmonia,Rca and Lyrita's and so on and so on. Even some very odd ball and obscure lables.

Drubin I stand corrected. The prices for the reissues are rather high with no booklet info at all. I just think why not just hunt down the original commercially pressed Cd for much less than Arkiv is charging, unless it is hopelessly unavailable?

Uru975 first thank u for your input. Now can you clarify what your saying "or a better version than I had" what does this mean? Are we to believe, that Arkiv reissues are better then the original Cd at 17.00 bucks a pop. With no info or booklet compared to the original pressing? I am just curious about them and just wishing to see how many are using them for this purpose?

Heres the crux of my tread. I just purchased the BMG Rca original Korngold Sea Hawk cd on Amazon. This is not the Dolby surround but their first and now out of print. ArkivMusic wanted $14.00 not including shipping. I bought it on Amazon original with booklet for less than $8.00 total with shipping, it's used but hey it's a Cd and in excellent condition.

Uru975 you do make a very good point about a fool and his money. I also believe you can still have your cake and eat it to and need not spend this kind of cash that equates to nothing more then buying a burnt Cd without a booklet.My library is full of out of print recordings including friends that I can easily loan then rip and burn.Print up some art work place in jewel case and bingo not much out of my pocket. Am I missing something here or am I just a little thick on top?And I don't mean hair.

well I enjoyed this tread and at least Audiogon allowed us ao speak our minds. I wish you all a happy holiday and enjoy the music.
