[vinylmeister]

[ChrisssB]

Lambchop "is a woman" (the daily growl, will give you goose bumps)

Norah Jones "come away with me" or "not too late"

[vinylmeister]

Gee, I didnt have time yesterday to monitor this forum. So the 2nd CD I listened to was "Santana III" 24-bit remaster - awesome!

I'm kinda on the table about Santana III. My favorites are the first and second one.

[vinylmeister]

I and II also belong to my top rock favorites, but sound quality is lesser then the III remaster. Have i & II been remastered ?

[sikoniko]

yes!

Thanks for the link and good to see that MOFI now also ships to Europe

[vinylmeister]

Just finished listening Pink Floyd's The Wall, now Deep Purple's Live in Japan - Child in Time AaaaaaaHaaaaahaaahaaaa

It's 24k gold, but only 16-bit PCM (being a CD). I'm sure it sounds good, nonetheless.

[vinylmeister]

Just ordered Santana, MOFI's shipping charges are over the top, 30$ to have it shipped to Switzerland, ouch.

... I have 3 versions now.. the normal one, the SACD and the MoFi. The prices are ridiculous, but well worth it. hope you got both I and Abraxas. The congos sound amazing on both!

[vinylmeister]

Right now I listening to a re-issue CD of the Santana II and I am surprised by the background noise, nothing disturbing but very light sounding

[rabident]

Delerium's Semantic Spaces album has well recorded ambient music. It makes the difference between 802's and 804's very pronounced.

Youtube - Delerium Flatlands

Youtube doesn't do it justice. I wish they made SACD or DVD-A, but they don't.

You need to listen to Holly Cole, "Don't smoke in bed" especially the first track with the chord change going into the seciond half of the track. You will truely appreciate you current hungry amp with the acoustic bass line that happens in that disc. "Jazz at the Pawn Shop" with the first 1.5 minutes where you hear the bar maid and tinkling glasses, on a really good system, the sound stage s so good you will look around to look at then bar maid.

Beethoven - koncert für Violine und Orchester D-dur op.61
Anne-Sophie Mutter and Karajan - Deutsche Grammophon.. ADD recording from 1980

Or translated into "concert for violin and orchester d-dur opus 61" but guess most of you could have done that anyway.. :-)

Thanks for the help, I have ordered the "Jazz at the Pawn Shop" and will let you know in a couple of weeks on the outcome

Sorry I am not into classical music at all, I got two CD's with classical music, Bolero and the 4 Seasions :-)

Unfortunate, try this then

[aarsoe]

Then I would argue, so much more reason for trying with piece of classical music that you don't know.. :W

[Thea-masta]

First i put in mine was a group of vocal geniuses - Bond.

Ok since you are not into Classical you should then definitely get this Sony spent a million dollars to remaster this baby.


Pink Floyd - ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ SACD


http://www.highfidelityreview.com/reviews/review.asp?reviewnumber=19939611

"It is however, in my judgment, the most important multi-channel disc ever made. I make that observation on the basis of its unassailable quality, and its existing status in popular music culture. There are a few works (though just a few) that can make similar claims as to the latter – ‘Sergeant Peppers…’, for example – but we’ve gotten no help from our friends with a 5.1 mix of that album, or any of the other Beatles album. The unfortunately real issue is to create enough popular interest in multi-channel formats that require some amount of investment from music lovers, or the multi-channel libraries simply cannot proliferate. In many respects, the successful metamorphosis of ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ is the best advancement to date of that goal."


An other good one is

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms 20th Anniversary (import)

It's a matter of taste, classical music is not my piece of cake.

Indeed these two are on my wishlist already

[vinylmeister]

Yesterday evening I listened to Esperanza Spalding, while she may not have an exceptional voice, Great music and high-quality recordings on headsup records.
Give it try if you like Jazz

I have both of those...absolutely superb!

[vinylmeister]

Yesterday I received and played the Jazz a the Pawn Shop SACD and indeed it was funny to see my wife looking backwards in the kitchen to see if there was somebody.

[KRC]

Jazz at the Pawn shop was a disc I heard at a store in Ottawa which was played on Mark Levinson electronics/CD player and Thiel 5 (if I remember right) speakers. Hearing this disc and others is what drove me to hi end stereo. It was so real, so real that I looked around to listen to conversations, the barmaid and the cou[ple to the left talking at their table clinking glasses. This realism can be obtained on many different systems, where recently I listened to a 7.1 system using Classe amps/processor/DVD playing Band of Brothers and Ray Charles.... same reaction with realism. I know my comment is sort of out of line with the thread, but isn't listening to your stereo all about the realism of the experience.
