Re: Playlist
What makes wonder here, is that Stevie Wonder could have the CD of Donald Fagen's The Nightfly removed from the shelves. What further makes me wonder is the claim, that Stevie was given a copy of the...
Re: Playlist
Many digital masters were recorded on digital tape machines. Correct Thomas. The Nightfly was recorded using 3M’s (new then) 32-track Digital Audio Mastering System, which recorded 16-bit/50kHz audio...

Re: Playlist
The story was documented with input from Roger Nichols and others involved in making the album.
Re: Playlist
Plenty of mine do sound better whether CD (or SACD, DVDA) or vinyl, Though I smile at Stevie Wonder's assessment of, "original master" reissues on vinyl given that the original master tapes are in his...
Re: Playlist
"none of them sound better."
That's a blanket statement.
That's a blanket statement.
Re: Playlist
And in my case, it has become a common theme with nearly all of the reissues that I've purchased. They seldom sound as good as the original releases, and none of them sound better. I read statements ...

Re: Linn 50th Anniversary
My take on the links was a little different. Linn doing research to determine the best plinth for an LP12 may benefit all LP12 users in time. Having a famous designer involved in a limited edition cel...

Re: More on source first and other priorities
There are frequent recorded guitar parts that cannot be reproduced by a perfectly tuned guitar (If measured by extremely accurate electronic tuning device). YouTube is awash with examples. I’ve looke...

Re: More on source first and other priorities
Non-standard ways of tuning a guitar are all still in tune. Otherwise we don’t enjoy it. I'm very happy I bought the Velvet Underground & Nico as an eighteen year old. Sure I took the record back for...

Re: More on source first and other priorities
Good musicians use tuned guitars on their recordings. Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Fred Neil and many others who experimented with non-standard guitar tunings qualify as, "good musicians" in my book. G...

Each part of the system is a link in the chain. The first link in the chain is the LP, CD or flac file (in my case), then comes the source player. It's a case of GIGO by the time the signal goes to th...
