Popular Post Danny Kaey Posted February 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2020 I think its so awesome that this site discusses music in earnest as much as it does... so many people I know in high-end have their 15 greatest hits albums on permanent repeat, yet there is SO much positively incredible music out there that it’s literally mind altering. So awesome - I bet every one of these is a phenomenal release!!! AudioDoctor and The Computer Audiophile 2 Link to comment

Popular Post JoeWhip Posted February 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2020 Keep at it. You have to get them when they are young. My youngest is a singer, song writer and keyboardist now out in LA. He used to tell me jazz was boring now he is hooked and argues with me over vocalists. Ha! He thinks he knows it all at 25.

pas Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Some of these titles are available at cdjapan, if anyone is interested. I just purchased six titles. I now see it was mentioned in the article, my mistake. The Computer Audiophile 1 Link to comment

PYP Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Thank you, Chris. Listening to Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio's Speak Low via Qobuz. Very dynamic and swinging. Never heard their music before! Great find. Much appreciated.

Nikhil Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Quote Masaru Imada Trio +2, Green Caterpillar (TBM-39) The first two tracks on this album are a bit off the wall, but in a really cool way. The opening track has an unmistakable psychedelic electric piano opening that may turn some traditionalist listeners off, but it's right up my alley. Welcome to "Jazz Funk"! Great stuff Chris! I have to say that I am jealous as well. This is such a treasure - a lifetime of great listening! Thanks for the Terumasa Hino recommendation - his work on Youtube sounds fantastic. .

La musique Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 It is actually nice that you discovered TBM, I actually have 33 of their original CD that i purchased direct from TBM in the 1987 while living in the island of New Caledonia In the pacific. I must say they are my reference CDs and Cherish them as you can not find them in their original form. Happy listening. bunno77 1 Link to comment

firedog Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Quote The sound quality is also fantastic, with a dynamic range score of DR 12. I realize that some music doesn't have a lot of dynamic variation and the DR scores aren't high simply because the music itself doesn't have the dynamics. But just think, in our lifetimes that would have been considered only average dynamics, with many rock and jazz albums surpassing it. Now it is considered outstanding.

Popular Post Flashman Posted February 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2020 I used to buy audio equipment from C.C. Poon, a wonderful Chinese gentleman who used to operate Monarchy Audio out of San Francisco. He also designed the company's products, such as the NM24 Tube DAC and Line Amp, all of which were great values. Anyway, I developed a friendship over time with Mr. Poon and, one day, he offered to send me a bunch of high-resolution music he had collected over time. One of the CDs was "The Super Extended Resolution Sound of TBM," mastered by the inestimable Tohru Kotetsu. I have the CD burned to an SSD on my Roon Nucleus. While the music is not exactly my cup of tea, I listen to the tracks from time to time, marveling at the production values. I noted that the CD is available from some sellers on Amazon but it costs a pretty penny. The Computer Audiophile and jmpsmash 1 1 Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Here are a few others I have, that aren't part of this Supreme Collection. Great stuff. Nikhil 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
Danny Kaey Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Update... I now had a chance to sample a few of these and have to say I am dumbfounded how great they are. Musically impeccable, the best of Japanese Jazz there is really. Sonically, there isn't one single dud here, they are all A+++++ titles with resolution and dynamic range that you won't believe comes from CD. My next mission is to source all of these on vinyl, a few of which I already have... #stunning Thanks for posting about these Chris!!! 🤩 The Computer Audiophile 1 Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Just added a screenshot, above in the main article, of the TBM Supreme Collection in Roon, incase anyone wants to feel a bit more jealous 😉 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

No worries, mate! The older they get, the smarter you become. Ours are now 38 and 41, and (if we interpret them correctly) it seems that my wife and I may not be quite as dumb as we used to be. kumakuma, JoeWhip and The Computer Audiophile 3 Link to comment
