deepak Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 These are getting pricey. $50 for a double LP on heavy wax is one thing...but $50 for a CD :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 The EAR HP4 should be a great amp, Tim De Paravicini's designs are very well respected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark baguette Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 You know I should clarify, these are still 16 bit, the remastering was 24 bit. The labels are misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxx Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsburger Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 If someone could figure out how to declip digitized music, he could make a mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
