December 29, 200718 yr comment_82307 These are getting pricey. $50 for a double LP on heavy wax is one thing...but $50 for a CD :'( Report
December 29, 200718 yr Author comment_82313 My wallet is in tears, lol. But I currently live w/ my parents, so my discretionary money is at an all time high. I tried to avoid getting any of the releases also offered on the limited 45s by Fantasy or Music Matters, as they are surely better, but I made a few exceptions. I'm waiting to see if I did really get what I bought; I checked the selections I bought again on their page and they still appear in stock (?) Hopefully nobody beat me to the punch. I actually would have gladly bought more, had I not just bought an Ear HP4 from renderson on Headfi And after I rip em....there's always Ebay Report
December 29, 200718 yr comment_82315 The EAR HP4 should be a great amp, Tim De Paravicini's designs are very well respected Report
December 29, 200718 yr Author comment_82318 Im hoping my last upgrade for the Senns. I need to focus on music for a while now. Though I do need better interconnects. But I hate spending money on those. Of course I'll be running a PICO at the office, for desk space. (And a 2nd pair of Senns if I get tired of my Dennon 2000s; they feel a little heavy and awkward on my skull) Report
January 7, 200818 yr Author comment_85207 Pictures for anyone interested. Taken by Acoustic Sounds. I'm planning to buy a 'few' more in a few weeks, if they remain available. I figure this will get me started with a jazz collection. Report
January 8, 200818 yr comment_85249 u crazy son. and what site will you be torrenting these on? Report
January 8, 200818 yr Author comment_85260 lol Im not telling my folks how much these cost; they'd shit a turkey dinner if they found out Report
January 9, 200818 yr Author comment_85571 One more small update. I've also bought some of the hoffman Fantasy 45 vinyl: Blakey's Big Beat was backordered So here is the Fantasy 45 RPM Hoffman mastered stuff awaiting digitization: Report
January 11, 200818 yr Author comment_86330 Here is what the wave form sections look like in Wavlab lite, for anyone interested. In this case, its The Double Up and Hey Chico, from Lee Morgan's Charisma album [blue Note RVG 24 Edition] Theres some nice breathing room in there Report
January 11, 200818 yr Author comment_86342 You know I should clarify, these are still 16 bit, the remastering was 24 bit. The labels are misleading. Report
January 11, 200818 yr comment_86573 At least there's no clipping. I was just listening to some music I haven't touched since the mid 90's and wow, not very good sounding. Report
January 14, 200818 yr comment_87281 Agreed. There is nothing worse, in jazz especially, than a cranked up clipping album of music. Some engineers think buyers of CDs believe if it is loud and distorted, it's high end. Sheeze! Report
January 14, 200818 yr comment_87323 If someone could figure out how to declip digitized music, he could make a mint. Report
