RE: Maybe -- BUT .....

"There us a bias towards hi-rez streaming and downloads.
There is a bias towards recordings by pretty women.
There is a bias towards warhorse composers and much-recorded repertoire.
There is a bias towards re-issues (esp., remastered re-issues in hi-rez)"
Good points. I do want to point out my views
I do no downloads
A lot of my current streaming is from the Naxos Music Library that streams at 320kbps
Since Tidal and Naxos I have tried to discover music that is not familiar to me
I absolutely hate the whole Babe thing that I find is very disrespectful towards women. Chris knows my views on this
I am sometimes guilty of the remastering game but only when reviews indicate the remastering is something really special
My last recommendation was of an old warhorse (MAhler 9th) but it was a recording I was not aware existed ( Bernstein with the Israel Phiharmonic) or the Bychkov Mahler 3rd which it seems I am about the only person who has heard this landmark performance.
I will continue to try to post new things I come across which is not easy since I have been listening for 70 years
Even with the biases I still hope that inmates will post what they discover and like
Another bias I don't care fore is recommending only music available in surround sound. I still think that the majority of audiophiles don't have surround sound systems.
