Jud Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Who Do You Love and Mona are great, but not so sure about the rest... Part of my youth, wish I wasn't quite as reluctant to spend the money on essentially two songs. One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. - Einstein Computer, Audirvana -> optical Ethernet to Fitlet3 -> Fibbr Alpha Optical USB -> iFi NEO iDSD DAC -> Apollon Audio 1ET400A Mini (Purifi based) -> Vandersteen 3A Signature.

bmoura Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 An update on the Quicksilver and Canned Heat DSD Downloads. Super HiRez reports that all 4 were Mastered by Robert Vosgien at Capitol Mastering Studios from the Analog Master Tapes in the Capitol Studios vaults. Nice! Link to comment

esimms86 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Who Do You Love and Mona are great, but not so sure about the rest... Part of my youth, wish I wasn't quite as reluctant to spend the money on essentially two songs. But consider that Who(what/when, etc.) Do You Love and Mona are, like, 70% of the album.

Jud Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 But consider that Who(what/when, etc.) Do You Love and Mona are, like, 70% of the album. What/When/How are extended riffs (lots of 60s psychedelic guitar) on Who. I liked that stuff better as a teenager.

mav52 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I've got both of those original Quicksilver Messenger Service (1968) LP and the Happy Trails LP released Mar 1969 Capital sounds so much better the the download from HD tracks. The HD tracks version just sounds so tinny. Like Jud, it sure sounded better when I was a kid playing in a rock band in Gainesville Fla The Truth Is Out There Link to comment

mav52 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Ever run into Tom Petty? Funny you should say that, we went to the same HS and it's been while since our paths crossed. The Truth Is Out There Link to comment
mwheelerk Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I opted for the 24/96 download from HD Tracks of Boogie With Canned Heat. I've been looking for a used CD version locally without luck. My DAC doesn't support DSD nor 192 over USB and with the 15% off code I was more comfortable with $15 than $25 for the DSD. I broke a little rule of mine these days about only buying new releases as high res downloads. "A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open." Frank Zappa Link to comment
KDinsmore Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I've got the Quicksilver compilation " Son's of Mercury" that has about everything the regular fan would want. The DR is form 10-14. I also have a rip of Pure Pleasure Music's " Quicksilver Messenger Service" that is DR 12-13. I wonder how the download sounds compared to these? What a great band. Overlooked by many...........

KDinsmore Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I forgot one. A mini-LP from Japan of Quicksilver's first album that is the worst compressed disc I own. Beyond bad.
