| Hi Resolution download - question on authencity of the files I have not delved into digital downloads for the simple reason there is no software to keep my classical music files in order. Renaming Beethoven symphonies as #5, 5, No5, No.5, etc is too much for me!!! It does not help that decent CD beats SACD ... | |
| When will there be decent classical music recordings? Well, I did it! Now you can see the photos of my "pride'n'joy"... a-Goners seriously segregate into buyers/sellers (me until recently), talkers (me as of this year) and Virtual System braggers (me as of today!). | |
| When will there be decent classical music recordings? Interesting thread! When I first read in "music in the round" that with SACDs there is an option to opt for a surround which puts you inside of an orchestra, I just laughed! TATYANA69, as I understand the original post, is actually looking for thi... | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD Thats how I feel, marked all my Digital Recording LP and put them in a separate box. Thats why I am so surprised the guys here havent crucified my finding about CD "ripped" onto cassette... Looks like its a "general knowledge" among those in the k... | |
| When will there be decent classical music recordings? I hear ya! My second system is my old Saab, with a box of Furtwangler CDs in constant rotation while enjoying the awesomeness of LA traffic! :-) | |
| Please Recommend Audiophile Solo Piano Recordings Now that Herbie Hancock and Bill Evans got mentioned, let me add Keith Jarrett. Unusual and unique style, his "The Kohln Concert" (ECM 1064/65) was the recording of the month at Stereophile mag, and as any other ECM offering it is definitely "audi... | |
| My final table , hopefully ! @saki70 you described here the story of my life, much better than I could! About 15 years ago I cracked, bought Sondek and got hooked! Upgraded (or downgraded?) it to fully Naim-ed Sondek, and after getting it Keel-ed even sold the original shippi... | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD @orpheus10 when saying "I would bet..." Did you mean your digital front-end? For me its a big Question, why CD recorded onto cassette (or reel-to-reel) sounds better to my aging ears | |
| Worst Album Covers by your fav albums https://www.theguardian.com/arts/pictures/image/0,8543,-10905055279,00.html:-)if bad cover for my favorite album then it is Meddle by PF. I wish I'd never learned that it depicts human ear, underwater, with ripples symbolizing soundwaves. on the b... | |
| Please Recommend Audiophile Solo Piano Recordings ZUIO, are you looking for CD, LP, or hi-rez/SACD? | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD @inna "tape stupid" is a good one! Thats Exactly how I feel about analogue sound! As a professional "academic researcher" I've learned not to trust others folks findings until its been confirmed, and this topic of digital masters onto LPs bothers ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Giya Kanchei "Chiaroscuro" on ECM New Series 2242. Got it with my latest order from Amazon a week+ ago and it just stuck in my CDS3 player... (Believe it or not, I have not yet played the latest from my beloved Assemblage 23 from that same order!)... | |
| When will there be decent classical music recordings? @tatyana69 thank you for bringing it up! Based on the responses here the idea of bringing an extra dimension into classical music bothers a lot of a'goners!I totally agree with the sentiment of Alex Ross from his book "The Rest is Noise" that s... | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD @harold-not-the-barrel +1 ;-)Totally voodoo (or placebo?) but it works on me! As I said before, maybe its time to stop self-medicating (with alcohol) while relaxing and listening to music and relapse back into my second-favorite hobby/condition ... | |
| When will there be decent classical music recordings? Let me respectfully disagree re. Herbert von Karajan legacy, his Beethoven and Bruckner cycles will outlive all of us and our great-grandkids! Just because he embraced digital and DG used skewed RIAA does not make him inherently Evil! True, his Tc... |
