Why exclude the 50th Glasser/Bellman?
more to come indeed.....and on with the show. A few more initial thoughts on some more titles: John Lennon - Mind Games EP (glow in the dark...
79 minutes can fit on a single CD. It should have been put out that way. It isn't a reissue of a double album people treasured for years. There...
Just reporting back on the R.E.M. - Up album as mentioned on this Amazon thread... I'm pasting this from my post on the actual R.E.M. thread:...
Yeah, nice, solid, catchy, engaging compositions. I really do like the album, because for my 'taste' (such as it is) I like the straight forward...
Awesome review, thanks for notes on the shootout bc I agree that this new version is excellent. Honestly, with all the great jazz reissues...
The Oliver Nelson ROTM pressing is very good. GZ, so I approached it with caution, but my copy is clean and flat. The vinyl is not completely...
Remastered records can be cut straight from tape but few folks do that anymore. It's basically down to Sterling Sound, Cohearant, and Bernie...
I haven't spent my last 20 years in a cave, and I'm a retired sound editor for both TV and Movies and have extensive training in sound recording...
It's not about following a DR number. It's the reality that great recordings nearly universally have a healthy DR. If you're not familiar with...
Thanks for this. While I am not a fan of the new Rhino HF, I can appreciate the thoroughness of your findings. One thing that sticks out to me in...
Very well thought out and presented - Thank you!
Very well written! Thanks for posting this. I have the 2014 Mofi and your memory resonates with my thoughts too, which I shared up thread earlier....
Same thoughts here. I love “Modern Vampires” and in my opinion it still is their best effort so far. FOTB was a bit of a letdown at the first...
I am adding this after dminches graced us with his shootout. My findings were similar, please see below: This included the Rhino HiFi, original...
I am appreciating these thoughts on the three copies American Beauty in this shootout. I conducted one like it (with the addition of the original...
I just played the DCC Ray Charles Greatest Country and Western Hits, the one from digital masters you did with Brother Ray. And it sounds excellent.
Am I in the minority in thinking this is their worst-recorded album yet? I mean, see for yourself -- go to Dr. Loudness War (Album details -...
"More dynamic" measured how? DR numbers? Time and a Word 1989 CD: DR 9 1994 CD: DR 9 2003 CD: DR 10 2013 HDTracks download: DR 9 I'm not seeing...
Yes, I agree that to many what I say seems contradictory. And for some listeners, whose hearing is wired differently in the brain, they will...
With due respect, I can't really believe what I'm reading here; apologies if misinterpreted your assertions. But could ever be said to be...
My REM Murmur CD has an AM+ sticker on it (if I recall correctly) and sounds great, however it appears to be identically mastered to the first CD...
Ouch.....kinda' harsh @Peter HG ! Let's face it, we're just as culpable as the music industry for the so-called "loudness wars". Not sure if...
Not to be that guy but: You’re not supposed to comment on sonics if your equipment isn’t listed.
I thought the green vinyl sounded great. Good pressing, quiet but with good dynamics so you can crank it up without ear fatigue. Just listening...
