My buddy just picked up two copies (LP's) at Walmart of all places.
Great album!

Has anyone downloaded/purchased the new Tool from HDTracks? I'm even more interested in the sound quality of the original CD releases of Tool's catalog compared to the HDTracks. I like everything about Tool with exception to the strange equalization in production. The sound quality of APC is vastly different and I prefer the production on APC albums over Tool's. I like Tool more than APC; just wish it sounded better. I’m holding out on buying from HDTracks until I can reasonably expect it to out-do their CDs. |
Does HD Tracks have their own mastered file delivered to them? I doubt it. The 24/96 mastering for download is indicated in the DR Database. http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=Tool&album= It’s what I’ve been listening to via Qobuz and it sounds terrific. The DR for the CD appears to have the same specs as the downloads. Edit: Actually, the CD has higher compression than the hirez download. Too bad, the record labels will never change. With CDs we're stuck with an inferior product. |
