Hi-Rez: trying to sell you the same music again?

Posted by Munkie_NL (A) on November 22, 2014 at 03:22:20

Looking at this site i draw the following conclusions:

1. I have most of these albums in Dutch or German 70s license pressings on vinyl, in analogue form. Bought them from the thrift/flea circuit for 1 or 2 euro a piece.

2. I could buy most of these albums on perfect used CD's for 2 to 5 euro a piece.

3. Just got a Yamaha Cd-N500 CD player/streamer. I downloaded two files of the same recording, a 16/44 WAV and a 24/96 FLAC. I couldn't hear a difference playing back these files with the Yamaha.

4. Most of these albums are old analogue recordings, the master tapes being 35 to 55 years old now. Are these digital remasters done recently in 24/96 and higher format or are these old 16/44 remasters done in the 1980s?

My 0,02 cents? Good and cheap used vinyl is few and far between anno 2014. New reissue pressings are expensive and are digital remasters. Buy a used high end CDP and used Cd's. Just got 18 Chet Baker Cd's for a mere 50 euro!
