@ghdprentice Yes. When I put that that thought to type I was specifically thinking early DG digital remasters of some of the great performances they recorded in analog that, in analog suffered from shrill shrill strings and sibilance, exacerbated to the unlistenable in their poor digital remasters. In general, DG has consistently archived some of the best performances but was inconsistent in engineering the best SQ. Some recordings have phenomenal SQ. Some suffer in both analog and digital with “DG shrill and sibilance”. When they get both the performance and engineering right, it’s pure bliss. When not, the DG love affair is over.
Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital
I have not bought a vinyl record since CDs came out, but have been exposed to numerous claims that vinyl is better. I suspect jazz may be best placed to deliver on these claims, so I am looking for your recommendations.
I must confess that I do not like trad jazz much. Also I was about to fork out A$145 for Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" but bought the CD for A$12 to see what the music was like. I have kept the change!
I love the jazz in the movie Babylon, which features local Oz girl Margo Robbie (the film, not the jazz).
So what should I buy?
