Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming

@fleschler 
Any particular new GD release you can recommend (not a die hard fan yet - like their acoustics most).

Georgehifi:  the thing is we want to listen to recordings that are not compressed.  The other 99% of music consumers benefit from some amount of compression, for all the reasons you listed and more.  The big record companies know where their bread is buttered.  That's why I appreciate the serious efforts of all the small independent companies that bother with releasing remastered material for us hifi nuts.  And it makes it worthwhile digging up vintage recordings at thrift stores and vinyl shops.

The Mofi 45rpm releases of "American Beauty" and "Workingman's Dead" are wonderful.

This too:

The samples sound promising.  I'm saving up to buy before they sell out.

gosta - I think kahlenz commented on GD and his recommendation is a good one.
