@rodman99999 Thanks much for the post and your thinking. I too would bias toward 45 rpm. Thinking there must be a reason that they are doing it, otherwise they would put more music on a side of a LP. Those Discog prices for SF LTD are great. Should be a easy investment to hear the music. I'm a big Alberta Hunter fan!
Direct 2 Disc
Holy Smokes! I recently purchased and played a couple of Direct 2 Disc LPs on my turntable and I was simply blown away on the clarity and beauty of these recordings. Wow, this was a wonderful experience. I bought a Doug MacLeod and a Henry Gray 200gr LPs. They were recorded at a place in Kansas. Just starting to investigate these. On the merits of these two, I bought $150 more. Do ya'll have any favorites that sound especially crisp? I do have a couple of Third Man Record D2D recordings, but they didn't sound this good.

Those prices would be great, if the vinyls aren’t trashed. Better than four decades(ie: since SF Ltd’s release) offers a lot opportunity for abuse. Here’s hoping you find a good one! There are a number on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=san+francisco+ltd+crystal+clear&_sacat=0 |
A friend of mine has a quite large collection that includes a lot of very small label blues recordings. Often, it is something recorded in someone's house, not a studio, using only a few microphones. Some of these recordings are stunningly realistic. I know simply-made music is easier to record, yet, I don't hear anything like this in most other fancy studio recordings of any sort. Also, a lot of difficult to make orchestral recordings from the past are easily the match of what is recorded these days. Many Decca, Columbia, and RCA recordings from the 1960's are amazingly good when it comes to sound quality. I do like current digital recordings of classical music and jazz. At least with these genre, producers haven't flattened dynamics and absolutely ruined the sound. Most of this music has not been issued on vinyl, so it is hard to make any sort of vinyl vs. analogue comparisons. |
Holy Smokes! I have been posting about these for over a year or two and the posts have been completely ignored. Whatever. Listen to garbage if you want and then tell us all how good or bad your equipment "sounds." Evidently audiophiles are not as bright as I thought; a BIG reason I got of the business years ago. Cheers! |
