Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s

Pdn be careful there are people on here that will argue with you about this, like maybe a speaker isn't placed right, or there is a curtain hanging a little too low on the right side of the room or your cd player isn't leveled.

ME I agree with you 110%

I too am replacing some older cd's and its funny you mention jackson browne "saturate before using" would be great re-mastered.

Goldenear:

Thanks for the warning but that's OK. Arguments are welcomed. That's what the forum is about. Getting both points of view. I know many folks strongly prefer vinyl over digital. Another area where many an argument can be made. It's just a matter of personal choice and preference.

Bring on the HDCD's, SACD's, Surround Sound DVD concerts, etc. Enjoy !!

PDN And Goldenear

Wait til you hear the new 10 disc Neil Young in Blu Ray. Better quality digital sound is coming.

Bongofury and PDN,

Prediction!

There will be no more digital medium meaning all digital music will be stored, purchased and transmitted over fiber and never having to insert anything again, weather cd, blue ray, sacd, hdcd or ZZZVVGG (made up ).

Or

Dropping a needle and play!, Long Live Analog

Although watching a nice Concert on DVD or Blueray on a sweet two channel set up is awesome.

It’s strange they never tried to improve analog like they do digital I guess the room for improvement wasn’t there as compared to digital.

I am a fan of both formats, although I am not a big IPOD guy even though I have one its nice not to have my cd collection all over my car  but your bit rate I my opinion should be no less than 256. I sacrifice space.

Anyone agree or disagree, or another point of view is welcome.

looks like i have a few supporters on my side! Buy hey...this is a highly subjective hobbie...agree with Goldenear...mixing bass straight into board bad idea...never been too sold on Glyn johns bass sound...it find too loose and ill-defined
