My best demo albums

One more fantastic album which has been carefully remastered:

 

Jean-Michel Jarre - Essentials and Rarities

 

I was just reminded of one that was practically worn out by us, from repeated playing ...

 

 

At solid volume levels, this is magical stuff - huge spaces, tremendous impact; there is so much going on ... I remember listening to this at an audiophile's home with huge, very heavy speakers, Krell amplifier - it sounded a disasterous mess, miles from getting anything right ...

It was this one below - Thielemann’s. I will listen to your recommendation.

Hope you enjoy it!  IIRC, the Eugen Jochum recording was authorized by Orff himself.    I think Christian Thielemann's version is also a very worthy choice.

I think your spamming of every thread on this site to push your agenda has become so natural to you that you don't even know you're doing it.

 

Try using the IGNORE facility if it bothers you that much.¬¬

This post by George on another thread sums it up pretty well

 

 

So I take it that you're not interested in methods that enable audio playback to provide a more enjoyable experience ... ?

Again, this has nothing to do with this thread.

 Apparently Kumakuma isn't , ,or he wouldn't be attacking someone who has provided the name of a recording he uses that meets the title of the thread.

 

His main gripe is simply that he doesn't accept what Frank reports and would love to see him silenced .

I've highlighted the section in your post that I thought was off-topic

 

 It's NOT up to you, Ralf11 or anyone else to decide what is " off topic"

It's up to the OP to decide !

 

BTW, keep abusing the DISLIKE Button for petty reasons and it will probably disappear again !

And I can go with that ... the reason I made the comment was to emphasise that the qualities of the recording help to highlight the capabilities of a rig, for better or for worse. We're talking about "demo" material here, which in my mind should be that which differentiates what one has, from that of others - an audiophile recording which may be "so well made" that it sounds good on a transistor radio is of little help ...

Hi,

If anything, many of the latest Muse albums are very good [from 'Black Holes and Revelations' onwards]

For HF response - Ellie Goulding : Halcyon Days. [maybe this album is over the top for hf]

Another repeat from me - Unkle albums are good - The Road Part 1 seems to be a good recording.

Regards,

Shadders.

I won't go into the artistic merits or their absence f JMJ's music.

 

But from a sonic perspective, as I've described in my previous post where I defined observationist sound assessment through listening, using his music to evaluate sound is like using Nemo to evaluate video instead of a National Geographic documentary...

The button you referring to is an "Off Topic" button, not a "Dislike" button.

 

I used it in that way to express my opinion that the post was off topic for this thread.

To you and a few other members, anything you don't agree with is " off topic" when it's an expansion of your ON TOPIC reply !

You ARE using it as a DISLIKE button !

You try and direct mother members thinking into a narrow area to try and obtain  the results you want.

 It's hard enough to always stay on topic without members other than the OP trying to act as " Thought Police" as well.
