Jud Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Please recommend a great recording to truly demo a system. Thank you.

Jud Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 [*]"Looking for a Home" - Keith Greeninger from "The Blue Coast Collection" - will probably sound even better when I get a DSD-capable DAC instead of transcoding on the fly through Audirvana It will.

Jud Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Jud How do you find The Beatles "Come Together"? Through my system it is very3D sounding. I think it's all terrific - Beatles in 24/96 from the Martins, what could be wrong with that? I especially like the two I mentioned because they use less heavily produced alternate takes, allowing John and George's voices to come through very clearly.

Jud Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hey Jud: Can you point me to that? http://www.amazon.com/Love-Audio-DVD-The-Beatles/dp/B000JJS8TM The audio DVD has the 24/96 versions.

Jud Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Bob Dylan - Everything is Broken (track of Oh Mercy) For a couple of decades now, "Man in the Long Black Coat" from Oh Mercy has been a track I've used to demo systems. As the track opens, the sound of chirping crickets gradually becomes rhythmic and turns into the rhythm of the beginning of the song (the lyrics of which begin, "Crickets are chirping...."). How smoothly that happens (does the chirping "foretell" the rhythm of the song's intro - good - or does the rhythm of the music come out of a more or less random bunch of chirping crickets - bad) says something about the ability of a system to do microdynamics well.

Jud Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I didn't realize this either. How does one rip the audio from the dvd? DVD Audio Extractor.
