| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @curiousjim " I just put the new Time Out Of Mind in the Que. Looking forward to hearing it" I hope you enjoy it ! | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @bdp24 "... he needed them far more than they needed him". In terms of guitar playing, I'd readily agree but given the disparity of opinions regarding who wrote the songs, I don't know what to think. | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @cd318 Yes-- I'd agree it's subjective. Consider the varied reactions to Giles Martin's Beatles remasters! @bdp24 Another one: what's that Blues lyric... "I'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log than (fill in the blank) and be... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @cd318 "Sonic Muck" was the only phrase I could come up with to describe what I hear. This is an esthetic response, not an engineering/technical assessment. I wasn’t referring to the fidelity of the recording but to the "artistically murky" "s... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @bdp24 Sonic "finger-painting", to my ears! BTW, the notes accompanying the 2 cd Fragments set quote Dylan regarding the contrast between Lanois' approach to producing and Dylan’s own. | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @rpeluso I'd be very interested to hear what you like about the original mix, if you care to elaborate. How does Daniel Lanois' esthetic contribute to your enjoyment? With no other alternative, I appreciated what I was able to appreciate in the... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @bdp24 Yeah, that’s one of my favorite tracks, too. This mix is so much better, it’s hard to imagine why Dylan approved the original. No doubt, he had his reasons at the time but we can all be thankful he changed his mind somewhere along the w... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning You're welcome! | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? @tomcarr "For me, there are two kinds of music. The kind I like, and the kind I don't like". Honest answer! 👍 We can debate the relative objective merits of various musical styles all day long but in the end we like what we like. For examp... | |
| SQ of "Rock of Ages" on CD The Academy of Music set arrived yesterday. I’ve only listened to a few tracks. Compared to the MoFi, what I’ve noticed so far are an improved, overall sense of immediacy that you’d expect from a live show coupled with improved resolution/separat... | |
| Little Richard, Big Mama Thornton and BB King Can You Suggest Best Albums? @vonhelmholtz BB King: I'm partial to "Completely Well" and "Indianola Mississippi Seeds". Some may regard these as overly produced but there's plenty of excellent guitar and vocal work. I doubt you'll be bowled over by the SQ. | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? @tonywinga @jjss49 and similar posts ... I find it reassuring that in a thread with the potential for a great deal of acrimony, you guys inject a strong dose of common sense ... Thanks for that! | |
| SQ of "Rock of Ages" on CD @tomic601 Thanks. I got it pretty cheap from importcds. | |
| Show off! Audiophiles always seem to bring over their own favorite "test discs". Non audiophiles ? It doesn’t matter because on my system, any decent-sounding CD is probably going to sound much better than anything they’ve heard. Whether they'll be able t... | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey I didn't start until 20 years ago but here are a few... 1) Don't buy anything you can't demo in your room, with your components and your music and return, if necessary. 2) Trust your own ears but give any component plenty of listening time bef... |
