70 downloads almost equally divided between HD Tracks, Bluecoastrecords, Linnrecords and Naimlabel.

Another one from 2L and 2 from HDTT.

All that in period of 18 months, may be 2 years

"I am a lawyer...

and I am purchasing all of the hi-res music to enhance my client's enjoyment in the "waiting room." Can I write this off too! I hope so."

 

Maybe you can write off 15 minutes worth for each of the clients who are simultaneously listening in the waiting room?

 

 

 

[One and a half]

about 40+ albums from HD Tracks, small amount from Blue coast, 40 tracks from AIX.

All have been very enjoyable to listen to, especially the Warner material of late (Jun 2011) from HD tracks. The Stones albums are a collection just waiting for the remainder to be released to complete.

Albums I would have heard on the radio, never really motivated to buy at the time, but as time goes by, tastes change, some nostalgia in there as well of course.

Downloading, and especially high rez is very convenient and simple. Some albums I buy to compare the high rez and the CD, for example Deep Purple 'Machine head' is night and day to the CD, completely different mix and sound quality.

I don't understand the controversy about upsampling cd material, just listen, it's radically different, cleaner, dynamics all that in the soup, you cannot get that ambience by upsampling, not possible!!

You need to get to the master tapes (or a copy of them) and start over.
