ArkivMusic Cds any takers?

Im interested have any members of Audiogon purchased Cds from ArkivMusic and what they think? I see there prices are not cheap so I am wondering how they stack up to the original Cds there burnt from. Are they the same, better or less in the sound dept?

Brownsfan thank you for your input. I was wondering about comparisons with the ArkivMusic Cd and original commercial issued Cd.

I had no idea. But only some of what they sell are reissues. Much of the catalog is current, right?

Drubin not at all if you check the label listings on ArkivMusic it reads from A to Z with every well known label. There's the ever popular labels such as Mercury,Decca,london,harmonia,Rca and Lyrita's and so on and so on. Even some very odd ball and obscure lables.

Schipo, only 6,000 of their 90,000 titles are reissues. The rest are originals.

Drubin I stand corrected. The prices for the reissues are rather high with no booklet info at all. I just think why not just hunt down the original commercially pressed Cd for much less than Arkiv is charging, unless it is hopelessly unavailable?
