Ziggy Stardust 24/96


Recommended Posts

Finally heard the vinyl and I would have to say that it is my favorite of the bunch. Had the same experience with the Smile Sessions. Must be something in the mastering or distortions of the medium that makes like the vinyl sound better to me with these two titles, which is usually not the case when a digital master is involved.

Thx but no. Got's to have the HR. I had read at one point this was going to be available as a download in HR. Nada.

Yea, this is one I have to get as well. I'm hoping when the initial sales rush of the set tapers off they'll offer it as a down load.

I also did the DVD-A rip, and agree this is well worth it. The 96kHz version of the original mix is very noticeably better than a CD rip version. It retains some muddiness in places, but no worse than the rebook.

 

The 48kHz 2003 mix is also worth the listen. I can see the appeal, but they've brought the vocals waaay up in the mix, and for me too much. They also couldn't resist a bit of DR tweakery:

 

DR values:

Redbook rip - 16

96kHz original mix - 17

2003 mix - 10.4

 

The price for the DVD-A and the vinyl is the same as I've paid for some HDT downloads, so seems good value to me.

Two thumbs up.

 

I bought this for 39 bucks at Vintage Vinyl which is right around the corner from my work. Gave the 80 gram vinyl to me buddy for 10 bucks. Best money I have spent on music on a long while.

Picked up the album/dvd and ripped the 96/24 2012 remix....I'm really liking the SQ. Well worth the price...
