Good question Greg.
I have it on SACD and it is definitely a system test disc!

What are you streaming tonight?
As we are in the modern age of music I thought I would see how this fares.
We have threads specific for cdp and tt so why not streaming as it is a modern media.
I don't care if you stream Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Paradise Radio or any number of internet stations.
I would like you to share your tastes and method of streaming.

Big-Greg Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms, Qobuz “...Why don't they have this in Hi-Res? It sounds fantastic at CD quality, but...” well, there is an easy step-up from “ordinary” red book CD .... it is also available in XRCD2 recording that is an appreciable step up in audio performance when played on my REGA ISIS VALVE cdp/.DAC https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/dire-straits-brothers-in-arms-xrcd2-wow-theyve-analogued-it.1... |
IQ - Subterranea Music with a big debt to Genesis but not quite as inspired...or so I think right now. Only part way through this one. SQ is very very good. Vocalist has an excellent voice. Overall style is kinda like Genesis runs into Rush on Broadway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjIpULDPMt8 |
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong- whole album is great. Neil Young- Comes A Time. I love this record. I think it was the last one of his that I can listen straight through and not have the desire to skip a track. I love Nicolette Larson's voice. I recently read that she was a good friend of Linda Ronstadt's. I will have to did and see if they ever recorded anything together. |
Van Morrison - Three Chords & The Truth @dougsat I think you are right about Three Chords....seems like it's gonna bear up to repeated listening. Van KNOWS how to pick a backing band. Great arrangements (as per usual with him). Excellent sonics too. Should have added "Back On Top" to my previous Minority Report comments about his albums that get listened to frequently. |
Dumping anything to tape without careful level matching will get you hooked on several things: gain a little low end bump a whisker of high end roll off (16 k and up ) bit of saturation and harmonics your ear brain likes... u can get some of the same effect w a high end Casa deck for a lot less $$ ( tape ) B-77 high speed half track in the mobile recording rack.... |
Uber: that is apples to apples and all about information per unit of tape. Less info per inch of tape or inch of groove. Additionally for vinyl with 12” 45 the distance between cut grooves can be spaced much further which allows for better bass. i was tempted to buy a derelict cutting lathe about ten years ago to learn... glad I didn’t do that... |
