Re: unofficial DR database. I would like Whart’s opinion on these Led Zeppelin ratings if he sees this post.
Geoffkait do you listen to Led Zeppelin through your Sony Walkman or through a regular stereo ? I have a problem with Led Zep. If I do put it on the Spl’s usually end up going high and I get in trouble. The new recent vinyl from Germany is very good & quiet.
on a sidenote.
I feel I have done my duty and listened to Adele 25 - 3 times now (cd).
I am now ready to start a movement for women against their bad boyfriends.
Someone mentioned Amy Winehouse earlier.

The only decent ratings come again with vinyl (last 2) and it is in my opinion not great. I have the 2006 vinyl album. You will need VTA on the fly and a tonearm that doesn’t change its alignment settings when you do use VTA with this one.

Kate Bush 50 Words for Snow - this is a phenomenal vinyl album.

The ratings only show HD files and they all rate good. The vinyl must use these files ?
*********************************
It appears from limited surfing of the DR database that most vinyl rates better than bad digital. And with good digital, vinyl is still right up there.

If there is anyone reading that does not think a regular cd can put you at the performance in your own space.

Holly Cole - Girl Talk - cd

Why does the HD tracks have the crappiest rating with the Holly Cole album ?
Must be really hard for the engineers who know how good digital can be ......to add all this loudness in due to the artists/market wishes.
