Sorry for going a bit of topic but are there any websites that simply show which is the best lp or cd version to buy for the best recording/sound quality? I was listening to Depeche Mode Violator on CD last night which is easily in my top 10. Discogs https://www.discogs.com/Depeche-Mode-Violator/master/18080 does a nice job of showing the different versions but is there a website detailing the best sound quality version? Thanks for the help

Thanks for the helphttp://dr.loudness-war.info/ As you can see the best is the earliest non remastered that are the least compressed, I buy all my cd this way s/h and it been right 100% just click on the one with the most green and find the cat no. and go ebaying. http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=Depeche+Mode&album=Violator Cheers George |
If you're interested in long, in depth discussions of which version is best, check out the Steve Hoffman Music Forums: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/forums/music-corner.2/ George, IMHO, while dynamic range is important to sound quality and the loudness wars are a blight on music, dynamic range isn't the only factor to consider when choosing between different versions of an album. |
