Internet music sellers

Anyone notice that the usual Audiophile sellers on the net have raised their

list prices and then discounted them. So to increase sales they have an eternal

sale going on to keep the volume up the only problem is there is no real sale price.

My complaint with them is TRUST and not feeling being taken advantage of.

I have many times asked sellers how is the sound quality of that particular release

and they always say it sounds great until it's delivered and I put it on my TT to

find out that the sound quality is not that great for $30-$50 (or more) record.

When I can buy a RVG remastered Blue Note cd for under $10 from a Amazon

sub dealer delivered that sound almost as good as a Music Matters vinyl for $40

you have to think about what's more important the music or the sound for the

difference in $30!!.

Back in the day, I felt that tape hiss and record noise detracted from the musical experience and DACs have become so good, digital (to me) is not "harsh" sounding. I have a hard time when I compare 44.1/16 files to even 192/24 files, when the latter has sounded "better" to me, I have found that they have been "remastered", so it's not an "apples to apples" comparison. For most of my music I purchase CDs from Amazon, record them as 44.1/16 AIFF files in iTunes and sync them to my music server. I've had the same experience, that the digital websites charge WAY more for 44.1/16 downloads than Amazon charges for the same music on CD.
