REShaman Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hello everyone. First post by way of introduction. Enjoying the forum very much. Discovering the many possibilities from various topics and an abundance of posts and information. Tonight, after a hard day, my wife and I both received massages accompanied by HDtrack Hi-Res downloads of Krause and Plant's Raising Sand and Paul's McCartney, Dr. John's Right Place Right Time and finally Elton's Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. Massage for us is therapeutic and restorative. With Hi-Res accompaniment, it's especially great. Reading all of the forum member's takes on the software of choice thread(s) and discovering the difference that makes the difference (discerning which program is perceived as the best or better and the criteria for such conclusion), I started with Pure Music with a little phone help from Rob being so new. Followed by Decibel, very straight forward and enjoyable. Yesterday, I bought Amarra v2.2 and so far find its quality highly enjoyable. The best so far. Sorry for the OT parts of my first post. Best to all, Richard Link to comment
RSB Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 "What Love Is" was done in 2006. When I received my copy a year or two ago I searched the web for more CDs of hers and did not find any. I also didn't find any other information as to why. RSB Edit: I just searched the web again and erin is apparently doing to release a 2nd CD sometine in 2011.

bdiament Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 A regular in the CD player and now, on the server: Jason Vitelli's "No Photographs". Literate rock. (!) Jason is a NY based singer/songwriter with a great voice and a gift for beautiful melodies in addition to wonderful arranging skills. He recorded this himself and played almost all of the instruments. He hired me to master this (no compression by the way) and as soon as I heard his music, I was hooked. Don't know how many times I've heard this album now but his talent still blows me away with every listen. I'm amazed he hasn't been picked up by a major label yet but then again, I did say his music is literate. I asked him about doing a Soundkeeper project. He said yes.

driven -- by sound Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Greetings Barrows! I've been curious about XRCDs. Do you have any XRCD titles in your collection with the same standard redbook release for comparison? I've only bought a Blue-spec edition CD from Japan - "Head Hunters" by Herbie Hancock. I found the difference between it and my regular CD to be better but subtle. And then questioned the premium paid... Looking forward to your input driven | by sound - \"bats & audiophiles\"[br] Link to comment

barrows Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The XRCD 24s are generally very good, as long as you like the available titles to begin with. XRCD are re-masters, from the original analog tapes, and the remasters are very carefully prepared, with a minimum of steps, and using very, very good equipment. Then a limited number of CDs are pressed from each stamper. Unlike SHM discs, or blue spec CDs, which are just a higher quality physical disc (and not re-masters), XRCDs have advantages that SHM and Blue Spec do not. This is even more apparent if one is ripping the disc for computer playback, if one rips correctly, a Blue Spec or SHM disc will make no difference (they only allow an easier read) in sonics (to the same title on regular CD), but an XRCD is a totally different thing, as it is re-mastered. The same is true for Mobile Fidelity's Gold CDs and UHM-SACDs-like XRCD, these are also very carefully produced re-masters, and because of that they will have different (generally better) sonics thna other versions in the same format.

REShaman Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Our President was in town and driving into NYC tonight to pick up my wife at our office required me to spend as much time traveling 4 blocks in mid-Manhattan as it took to arrive from the suburbs. Our return to our home was swifter. On our return, we landed on Three Guitars with Larry Coryell, Badi Assad and John Abercrombie (HDtracks 24/96). An effective antidote to traffic jams and traffic route priorities for a President which makes traveling a nightmare soothed by the healing properties of three guitars. It's about that time. Sweet dreams, all. Best, Richard Link to comment
