I have had my NDX now for around a month but still find myself buying cd's and ripping them. Could I please ask what web sites people have used and would recommend for downloading music. This takes into account quality of downloads and...
Apologies if someone has posted this, but Alan Parsons is giving a talk called "Sleeve Notes: From Mono to Infinity" at Abbey Road on a number of days starting on 13 November.
Hi Music lovers, I'm looking to purchase a hi-res album from HD Tracks, or any other provider, and was wondering if they're any good ? I have bought a couple of albums before from this site (Bob Marley's Legend Album & Carly Simon's No Secrets both 24/96) and although they do sound good ive always felt that they should sound much better tha the CD copies I have. I'm particularly interested in buying a 24/192 album which I've never done before so I suppose...
Now available at Highresaudio. An expensive weekend coming up!
Photographed this band last night, and the drummer and backup guitarist were a real hoot...drummer reminded me of Keith Moon, he held the drumsticks in his fists like turkey legs and flailed wildly, was drenched in sweat but really a good drummer....
This could be interesting; In 1955 Glenn Gould signed an exclusive contract with Columbia Masterworks, and remained with the label until his untimely death in 1982. Gould’s first release, Bach’s Goldberg Variations, took the music world by storm, and immediately established the 22-year-old Canadian pianist as one of the most brilliant, original, charismatic and provocative classical performers of his time. Sixty years later, Gould’s prolific recorded output remains a stimulating presence.
A good price for the 3lp and double cd version http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/deal/deal-alert-bob-dylan-1965-1966-best-of-cutting-edge-3lp2cd/#more-117446
Opening this up for any related discussion on the album. The 2015 vinyl is an exclusive UK pressing so for my US compatriots I'm sharing some searching I did today for the best import price here. A local but large chain in...
As discussed in another thread; just recommendations please, no rambling debates about the pros and cons of 24 bit etc. I'll start with Simon and Garfunkel greatest hits - which is a superb album and recording in 24 bit
My vote for the worst goes to the current one from Sam Smith, i don't mind his previous songs but this is dire. Apparently it sounds like Jackson's 'Earth Song' (hard to comprehend this was same person who wrote Billie Jean....) which is...
Apologies if this has been done before. 1. Blonde on Blonde 2. Highway 61 Revisited 3. Bringing it All Back Home 4. John Wesley Harding 5. Nashville Skyline 6. Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid 7. Time Out of Mind 8. Another Side of 9. Planet Waves...
As per discussion in another thread any good quality 16 bit recording you would recommend
Any feedback on this now it's been out for a while? I'm particularly interested in the high-res downloads available but loathed to commit unless the remastering is a genuine improvement as I have all the material already.
I have just received my vinyl copy of David Gilmour's "Rattle That Lock" which the run out stamps indicate a first press 1A/ 1B. I understand the desirability and the cost premium attached to rare 1st press S/H vinyl, My question is do the vinyl...
Listening to 'A town like paradise' from No Guru, my 3rd purchase from 7 Digital. Hard to imagine how it could be better. So far, I have bought Hymns to the Silence and Saint Dominic's Preview also. All I now need is some precious time, to...

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/vinyl-sales-are-more-valuable-than-ad-supported-streaming-in-2015/ar-AAeSIRV ...talk amongst yourselves...but I think I'm partially responsible for some of these numbers. ;)
Just home for a very enjoyable gig. Tom with acoustic guitar along with Max de Bernardi playing acoustic lead. Coming your way, well worth the price of admission. Sep 29, 2015 Gwynedd, Bethesda Sep 30,...
As string players and singers know, it is impossible to give the accord correctly before playing from any keyboard instrument. Only one note may be used and the performers must imagine their note in the chord for perfect tuning by working from just...
From The Beatles website, what next I wonder? http://beta.thebeatles.com/one...ding_page/index.html Richard
My tickets arrived yesterday for his gig at The RAH, London, on Friday 25th September. Anybody else going or seen him on this tour as I am really looking forward to it. Seen some video clips on other forums, it looks and sounds good....
Just thought I'd mention that HD Tracks UK has Johnny Mathis Singles in 192/24 for 4hrs 20 minutes for just £13.60. On the US site it's $50(ish). OK, we're not all Johnny Mathis fans, but some of us will remember him as part of a mis-spent youth, and for us 87 tracks for just over thirteen pounds has to be worth a tickle! (IMHO) I should perhaps have waited for the download to complete & listened to some of it before posting, but hey... how bad can it be?
Asides from having some great artists that are recorded very well, I have found today that customer service matches the quality of the music they produce. I had foolishly not backed up some files previously downloaded from the store and when I...
We’ve revitalised and reintroduced our core range of separate power amplifiers with Statement transistors and DR (Discrete Regulator) technology and will be showcasing these at Ceritech Audio on the 10th of October. With Naim on hand to answer any questions, hear the difference for yourself. Tickets available here .
So I finally did it, I brought my first brand new vinyl the other day for the princely sum of £29.99. And it seemed only fitting to get the new iron maiden album book of souls. There not even my favourite band but at least there early stuff was around to be on vinyl and my recent upgrade to a rega turntable to replace my old technics table gave me in itch to get Some more. I heard the song empire of the clouds on the radio and being old school rocker thought I'm going to go out and find that...
