Interesting project started by Michael Fremer

Other things being equal, digital remastering will sound different and might even be prefered by people who are digiheads and don't listen to analog.
There is no point in this exercise. And the fact that your contribution does not guarantee you the record for $10 less than regular price is quite telling.

This has been done in the 80's.

"Digital How Accurate?" Lp by Wilson Audio.

Sounds like a big waste of time and money.

Buc,

Are you working logarithmically, your 0's are off. 500 LPs at apx. $35 = $ 17500.

However, they hope to make 1000 copies should the project get funded and it appears that the ones that are kicking in should get a $ 10 discount on their purchase from Acoustic Sounds.

"I would like to be able to sell it to the first 1000 Kickstarter participants for an amount that reflects the $10.00 "kicked in".

Anyway, I think is a very interesting project and hope it get's on the way. The Wilson Audio Album mentioned above is close to unobtanium - a quick google check listed the last one sold for $ 80 on eBay, so the $25 for this one sounds like a good deal.

Good Listening

Digital done right can be excellent. The problem is, on so many of the modern digital recordings, the engineer adds so much artificial digital reverb that I can't stand listening to it. The CD's I have, for the most part, are not "audiophile" recordings. I probably have a couple thousand CDs. I don't keep the ones drenched in reverb or with strings that replicate pulling dental floss through one's ears. Those go into the trade in pile.

Hopefully, Mikey will do a great job on the digital side of the new album. I'd like to hear it.
