A music thread for diehard analog guys that get great sound from cd


Case in point....The Third Mind "Live Mind"

On my Esoteric K-05X

I realized since starting this thread, I should have worded it differently. Was hoping for favorite silver discs that are of exceptional sound quality that long time vinyl spinners are totally satisfied with. I listened to my three Mapleshade CDs recently and all were wonderful....

Bad Influence "Live at the Bad Habits Cafe"

Drink Small "Electric Blues Doctor, Live!"

Big Joe Maher/Jeff Sarli "Mojo"

I remember discovering MapleShade CDs long ago. I was really impressed with the recordings... I bought them all. I told a friend, who bought a few and said that the music was terrible (on the ones he bought), he couldn't understand why I recommended them. Then I realized that I was so impressed with the recordings... I wasn’t listening to the music... he was right (on some of the albums anyway).

 

I somehow missed this thread. One CD I have that features great sound AND music is:

 

- A Meeting By The River (on Water Lily Acoustics), an album of instrumental duets by Ry Cooder and Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. Recorded by Kavichandran Alexander on a tube reel-to-reel machine (the electronics of which were custom designed and installed by Tim DeParavicini of EAR-Yoshino fame). Absolutely stunning!

 

I have the lp @bdp24   The lp sounds so natural. I forgot about this thread myself. My contribution is Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers "Live at The Fillmore 1997".

Wonderful!
