LFF Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Holy Crap, Mono box sounds pretty dang awesome! I still like the tube cut LPs the few I have but these are detail monsters. So far just listened to Revolver and PPM and I'll knock out the remainder this week. I am just about on Beatles overload as the Hoffman board was just about 100% Beatles all the time. Speaking of that the SH board seems to have collapsed today. I agree. I love the original sound of the mono box. Sounds great as is. Here is a small clip of a track from the mono box with a little negative EQ. Hope you like: Send big files the easy way. Files too large for email attachments? No problem!

CarlSeibert Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 So, purely hypothetical question, but if I had a mono FLAC file and converted it to ALAC and it shows up as stereo in iTunes, did I screw a pooch? Again, you know, just apropos of nothing. I've never been brave enough to save a track as mono, either at home or for the web, for fear that something terrible would happen on the player side and a couple of planets would slip out of alignment or something. We've already lost one planet. You can't be too careful about this kind of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzziguy Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Crap now I want both box sets.... $409.98 on Amazon for both. Chris, is there a single place in Amazon to buy both or do you have to buy them separately? If the former, could you please provide a link to it. Thanks.

Dreadhead Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) Chris, is there a single place in Amazon to buy both or do you have to buy them separately? If the former, could you please provide a link to it. Thanks. Separately. At least that's how I priced it. IF you do buy from there don't forget to use the H-C support link.

zippy2001 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Looks like the vinyl boxset has been pushed back to May 2010. I have heard that it was to be cut on DMM from Hi-Res digital It isn't a Hoffman master from analog, but I'm sure it should sound good.

blessingx Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Borders has a 25% off coupon, IPL1255, which shaves a few more dollars off. And they seem to have a shorter ship timeline than many. Unfortunately, they also charge tax in more places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinp6301 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I heard the new stereo remasters off a Quad 63 setup and man, the stereo remasters do not disappoint off a speaker set up. The monos might be better (especially with headphones) but the stereo versions hold their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remasters are better than the 87s but the improvement come out when you can pick up the details for the most part and the average person may not have the gear or may not actively listen all that much. His advice if you gear sucks spend your money on gear improvement over the remasters. He also listened on a high end TT and CDP that many of us would be more than happy to have, well maybe not he the VPI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
