ted_b Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Ryan Bingham - more western than Southern, but then Feat was based in DC, so not that Southern either. Subdudes are another recommendation. But tough (impossible, really) to equal Feat back in the day with Lowell, and not much comes close to Dixie Chicken. Feat was in my college rotation for probably 90% of the time. Lowell was a tier one musical genius IMHO (in that "top under-rated" list like Ray Davies or Harry Nilsson). I saw them a few times, including the final tour (Waiting For Columbus recorded during that tour) with LG. His passing hit me like Lennon's. They are still a fun band, but nothin like the Lowell-era. Even side projects like them backing Robert Palmer's early albums...amazing music. I just this past week or so got on another Little Feat jag and have been playing them a LOT. Edit: I am not really a fan of Southern rock at all...I don't consider Little Feat (or CCR) to be southern. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

ted_b Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hmmm, I don't know if the SACD could be better since BIS doesn't record on DSD... They have (maybe) the SACD format for the 5 channels. Roch BIS only did nine or ten (some discrepancy discussed elsewhere) DSD-based SACD's, then they moved to 24 bit recordings (lots of 24/44 then moved to 24/96, all available in native PCM on eclassical site). It just so happens that this example SACD, the Jarvi Tchaikovsky, is indeed one of the nine truly done in DSD. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

ted_b Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Riclki Lee Jones: Traffic From Paradise Acoustic Sounds DL DSD64. Jud et al. has it right. Forget about the DSD vs PCM the politics of HDtracks, Mark Waldrip (sic). The DL is delicious sonically. Hence my enjoyment of music, my highest priority. Recommended ( highly ).Enjoy the music, Richard [ATTACH=CONFIG]7662[/ATTACH] PS I have other editions of this album, so what! +1 One of my favorite RLJ albums, and one I was salivating for the SACD. I ripped it a month ago or so and have been enjoying it! I've always liked the redbook, bu the DSD takes the background cues to a whole new level, and drops the noise floor quite a bit. It's an acquire taste for those simply used to Chuck E's In Love, but please give it a try in your rotation. Now if they would do Pop Pop. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

Mastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman with DSD specialist Gus Skinas. Highly enjoyable. Can be played at higher volume. Recommended. Enjoy the music, Richard [ATTACH=CONFIG]7673[/ATTACH] +1 The whole series is wonderful. And I'm hoping Chad gets around to having the 3 channel layer (from most if not all of the series) downloadable too. Kevin and Steve did a LOT of work with it, and it is sublime.

ted_b Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 This was mastered by Jared Sacks direct to DSD as far as I know? You can download the DSD version at: https://channelclassics.nativedsd.com/albums/guardian-angel Yes. One of my projects is that I work for Jared (volunteeer, actually...hopefully Jared is reading this :) ) on NativeDSD dot com. These DSD sessions are often mixed in the box, too, so little is done to the DSD files. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

ted_b Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Tonight I got out my newest SACD rips, the new SHM analog-to-DSD masters of the Roxy Music catalog, specifically (tonight) Stranded and For Your Pleasure. WOW! Makes all other formats of these irrelevant. Amazing. Phil Manzanera is a god. And these SHM transfers are soooo good, and sooo musical. HQplayer convolved DSD64 to DSD256.

ted_b Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 OK, weird listening night, I'll give you that. Maybe too much Jenner coverage drove me here. And this album is all about family dysfunction, headaches, motherhood, casual sex, imaginary accomplishments and getting the f' out of town....it's also a cure for the need for tones, weird chords, great hooks in pop songs and an eclectic collection of Liz's great sick dry humor mind....if you own it, play it in HQPlayer on an exaSound at DSD256. Very nice. Compressed, pop protools stuff, but "fun". I hadn't played it in quite awhile. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

ted_b Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 And then an unplugged (of sorts) follow-up to this pop-infused myriad of songs comes Cat Power's very acoustic, very emotionally drained set of songs she wrote in one night after an hallucinatory nightmare in a farmhouse in 1997 (she was worried for her life and went and got a tape recorder and her guitar and wrote like 8 of the songs in the next hour or two). Again, the tones, the chords, the shadings and "compositional clarity' (as Rolling Stone says) is quite beautiful. It's an acquired taste, but give it a try.

I believe there is an R2R tape version as well... Killer sound quality. Not the flashy and hyped up kind but utterly, completely natural. It's recording of a piano, no more and no less. You really got to hear the performance for what it is. Amazing! Yes, very nice. I have Todd's DSD128 transfer he did, and have wanted to put it on NativeDSD for the longest time!!

ted_b Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Music Direct sent me a fun thing to open yesterday...the new SACD issue of the wonderful Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions. I quickly ripped it and am playing it at DSD512 (HQplayer->microRendu->Intona->Kitsune Edition Spring dac). I must say that this is a tremendous reissue and worth every penny of the $29 it cost me. I've really never heard this album (after listening to various owned formats over 25 years) until tonight. The detail retrieval is the highlight, along with the tonality. The thing is soaked in ambient cues, unearthed from a standard little DAT tape (likley anywhere from 16/44 to 24/48k recording). Amazing. The Trinity Chapel is the star, and tht Timmons gang really knew how to work it. Michael's other-wordly guitar harmonics match perfectly with Anton's bass lines in Dreaming MY Dreams With You...the slightly off-tones mix solidly togther liek never before. Hell, the whole Postcard Blues effect is startingly clear on this recording, something you had to really work at with all the other formats, some of which were not too bad. This is not a recording that hasn't already gotten its kudos over the years, so discovering these new relationships, these new often subtle back beats.....it's quite a nice trip! Highly recommended.

Yes, and as I mentioned here on this thread a few days ago, the new SACD is da bomb. Detail retrieval, church cues, etc that allow one to listen like never before. Nice!

ted_b Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 My SACD player has been out of commission (disc bay won't eject). This may motivate me to get this repaired as I would love this work in SACD.As an aside, many thanks to your for your JRMC videos and some on-line help when I was intent on getting the most out of JRMC to manage my library. Most helpful... Thanks for the nice comments. One does not need an SACD player if one has a dac he/she likes, and either a PS3 or a rip-capable universal player (Oppo, etc) to rip the SACD to extract DSF files or ISO images. Even if your dac can't do DSD, the extracted files sound pretty damn good in some (sweetspot of your dac) sample rate of PCM too. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

Todd (Garfinkle) did a wonderful analog to DSD128 transfer of this awhile back, and the result is great! You can find it on his website (MA Recordings). His other DSD recordings are Korg-based and good, too. And, of course, his redbook and 24/96 world music stuff is some of the best of the genres covered.

Popular Post ted_b Posted June 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2017 Released today in 24/96 downloaded remastered version, with three previously unreleased songs and all the b-sides, I've listened only via home office system so far (JRiver, Audio Engine speakers) but it's very nice! Exit Music, for example, is rich and full of cues. All song details are abundant but not bright (except my home office system is a little forward by nature). Can't wait to hear on the big rig. A plus is having the great b-sides in 24 bit too (A Reminder sounds like a brand new song, for example). Musicophile and Cornan 2 "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

ted_b Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Awful? That's harsh. To each his own; I find the remaster to be revelatory in the lower level excavating, but agree that the more complex loud passages continue to clip away. It's likely all they could do, but what they've uncovered is simply wonderful IMHO. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.
