Two free high-resolution samplers from HDtracks

[blue2]

Thanks Teresa for the link and thanks to HDtracks for the free stuff.

 

From "HDtracks 2017 Hi-Res Sampler" I kept

5. Liar - Kasia Lins [Take My Tears] - EvoSound

and put it with "Go Away" from the 2014 sampler, which IMHO is a much better musical selection and better reason to spend £££ on high res. Kasia Lins is a young Polish jazz singer and the only artist whose albums I followed up. She has a CD/High Res download "Take My Tears" from 2013 and a 2017 EP. There are more interesting tracks in those sets but I don't think I'll buy the CD.

 

I also kept for further listening (musically OK or SQ good):

6. Secrets (Cellar Door) - Radical Face [The Family Tree: The Leaves] - Nettwork Records
7. Nothing More To Say - The Frightnrs [Nothing More To Say] - Daptone Records
8. A Thousand Faces - Boy & Bear [Limit Of Love] - Nettwork Records
9. Vertigo Flowers - Nothing [Tired Of Tomorrow] - Relapse Records
11. Around The Globe - Jerry Cortez [From The Ground Up] - EvoSound
12. Kiss Me Darling - Fiona Boyes [Professin' The Blues] - Reference Recordings
14. Feux Follets - Minoru Nojima [Nojima Plays Liszt] - Reference Recordings 

 and from "HDtracks presents The Sound of the Future" (binaural)
1. Full Moon in Paris (Amber Rubarth)

The binaural tracks sounded good on headphones but had an 'artificial' soundstage on speakers. Track 11 had the best SQ, 9 sounded compressed.
