It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

62.108.1.72

Today I listened to some Telefunken LPs: Directly Metal Mastered and digitally recorded in the 80-ies and I couldn't get excited by them because they missed that analogue sound I recently discovered. I really like Teldec and Denon CDs, because they sound more analogue than other brands but for LPs I agree they should be analogue to show the enormous dynamics and development of single notes to a more convincing and therefore musical picture a CD still can't convey. Though the sound-quality of e.g. Shirley Horn's CD 'You won't forget about me' is quite remarkable, I still think I'll go nuts if it would have been recorded on analogue equipment and released on vinyl. You make me very curious about the Vegh-recordings, because on CD it's good and I love the performances but there just isn't a sense of a live-experience due to the bad mid-eighties remaster. I can imagine the LPs sound better doing more justice to the great performances, giving them more air and soundstaging.

I really started to doubt the quality of my cdp, but after those Telefunken LPs I'm convinced I still have got a good one, since I prefer CDs over digitally recorded LPs. This weekend was some sort of catharsis, as well in a musical as in an 'audiophile' sense as far as I consider myself to be an audiophile.
