| Pink Floyd Dark Side comparison? Brad:We are talking CD, not LP FYI.My post got started because I wanted to replace my 80's US version of Darkside with either the new remasters from Guthrie or the MSFL re-master. Due to the cost, I just decided to order the re-masters and listen ... | |
| Originals vs. reissues/current issues You mean I just wasted $35 on a Japanese SLM version of Tarkus? Oh No!Not any worse than Yes IMHO. | |
| My favorite Steely Dan song has to be... Gotta vote for "Night by Night", from Pretzel Logic. Also "Charie Freak" from the same.And one cannot forget "FM". No static at all, kind of sums up our hobby... | |
| Need help with cd or dvd burning Verbatim and others make a burnable "gold" CD-R disc for high quality archive grade CDs. MFSL also has these, but they are very pricey.Otherwise use Taiyo-Yuden or Verbatim professional grade CD-R to create discs with the lowest error rates. Burn ... | |
| Using BLER to determine audio quality of CDs? Well, here is an update. As with a number of things, a measurement may not always be the measurement you think it is...I am curious about the numbers as a potential screening method, particularly since I have a large number of 80's era production ... | |
| CD Ripping software When looking up reviews of dBpoweramp, I came across one that compared all the lossless formats for encoding speed, file size, etc. As a test, the author encoded the same file through all 4 or 5 formats SEQUENTIALLY and then compared the final dig... | |
| Pink Floyd Dark Side comparison? phasecorrect:Do you also have the original 80's version? Curious to know how much different the re-masters are from that version. | |

| Using BLER to determine audio quality of CDs? I found this in a search. Maybe helpful to explain what is goin on:"CD-ROMS and CD-R discs are encoded with Cross-Interleaved Reed-Solomon Code (CIRC). This code uses interleaving to distribute errors and parity to correct them. With a bit rate of... | |
| CD Ripping software Since posting I did a bit more research. Mapman is right about EAC. Very difficult to understand (as the author is German and his English can be a bit confusing). Very complex program, hard to understand how to use it. It is free, however, donatio... | |
| Digital Source Comparison - An audible difference? I presume you are talking about 44.1K/16 bit native output from the players. For that frequency and bit depth I doubt if toslink will show any difference with coax, assuming you use glass fiber toslink and not plastic optical fiber.If upsampled di... | |
| Using BLER to determine audio quality of CDs? Tpreaves:Of course, but my ears tell me something is not quite right with those PF albums. I won't say its a one for one correlation, esp since I do not have another copy/recording for comparison. But I do find the CDs with the lower rates sound g... | |
| Pink Floyd Dark Side comparison? OK. But I was asking about the comparison of the EMI newest remaster vs the MFSL edition. | |
| Why are HD downloads so expensive? I went to HDTracks to look up some of my favorite Rock music. They don't have squat for a selection. They have ONE Steely Dan album and ONE Moody Blues album for example. No Little Feat, Traffic, ONE Eagles album, no Poco, and on and on.I don't mi... |
