| Analog vs Digital Confusion "Personally, I enjoy both formats, to a greater or lesser degree depending on the quality of the particular recording."Al, that is very well said and I have recently adopted that philosophy. | |
| Analog vs Digital Confusion Al... Thank you for the info; I remember the Soundstream and the 3M. I'm not an EE, but worked in recording studios. Todays digital vinyl quality is really hit or miss, but this new generation of record cutting is still in it's infancy. | |
| Analog vs Digital Confusion Atmasphere & AL...I haven't heard Wilson, but I have several DDD classical LPs such as Telarc who say there was no compression used in the making of this record. (And they have excellent sound). They are probably talking about the recording an... | |
| Analog vs Digital Confusion Rpg ... to my knowledge, there is a master produced for the cutting of vinyl and a separate master with different specs to make a cd or digital file. | |
| Merry Christmas right back at ya. | |
| Favorite international pressings Hyperion is a sure bet to be high quality. I take my classical recordings very seriously. As for rock CDs, any newer CD suffers from the Loudness Wars, so there's another issue to take into consideration. When Led Zep "Mothership" was released I w... | |
| Favorite international pressings Dylan is on Columbia which is really Sony = mass produced.I looked it up on Discogs and you can select Europe version and buy it there, but it's an odd lot of countries selling it. It's like u said, new CDs say EU now and not the country.It sucks,... | |
| Favorite international pressings To find country of origin on Discogs...on the right side of page there are options to choose. Genre, CD or vinyl, and lastly country. Choice of US, UK, EU, Holland, France, etc. BTW I will always take an import over a US pressing. My exception is ... | |
| Favorite international pressings Are u talking about Redbook CD's and what type of music? For classical, harmonia mundi is a top record label in France and only issues high quality recordings. Also, the cds pressed in Holland and Germany are of very high quality. But a cd with a ... | |
| Anyone else receive low offers right away ? On CraigsList, I've received form letters with a low offer and to ship the item to them and I will receive their check. This only happens when the ad is first posted. Never received any spam like this on Agon. How could anyone fall for this trick? | |
| Can anyone explain cable risers? "You can bet your bottom dollar that NONE of the various recording/mixing/mastering facilities are suspending their cables during the making of a recording."I like that answer. All the recording studios I've worked in had the cables bundled togeth... | |
| Linn Axis w/basic arm/Denon DL 160 should I bite? A used LP-12 for sale is usually in better condition than a used Axis. Plus LP-12 is upgradable. But I'm still glad I had my Axis rebuilt. | |
| Linn Axis w/basic arm/Denon DL 160 should I bite? I've owned my axis for 22 years and it's been refurbished. A used Axis should go for way less than $795. Linn Axis/Basic arm/no cart goes for $400 average on ebay. | |
| "Remixing" vs "remastering" recordings Good explaination by Onhwy61. Also remixes are done for DJs to be played in clubs. It's different than the original tune on the album. For a club mix, the Producer/engineer will make a "hotter" mix and may add drum machine, samples and other effec... | |
| Reasonable not to be offered a trial on a cart? A cartridge is a tough one to loan for a trial. I bought a Cart recommended by my local dealer w/o hearing it, as he did not have one in stock (He then installed it onto my TT). After listening for about a week, I told him I did not like it and wa... |
