I have been listening to the live anthology for a while now. I have the 5 CD's and the Blu-ray with 24bit/96Khz files. (only available in a box set) This is extremely well recorded/mastered. There are a number of great covers. For convenience, I look forward to lossless ripping the blu-ray one day to my iTunes (when I eventually get a BD drive for the mac) but the CD is very good. Ryan Ulyate is the man - NO Loudness Wars crap here - pristine stuff - a real pleasure - just like they made 'em in the good old days - interview here |
Awesome - I am a longtime fan - and not just because he uses ATC speakers. Tom pays special attention to sound quality - always has and always will - but that this is not a means to end - it is a reflection of his utter attention to every detail. Here is at Soundstage |
