    p2p.

    got mucho old Animals , some really wonderfull. one of their albums (everyone of us) opens with a long instrumental that you wud never ID as them.
    Got on MS's download site (www.URGE.com) on a free trial and picked up everything EB ever did.
    They code to a timed out proprietary format. not too hard to deal with that.

    Ken, I am only familiar with the "Isn't She Lovely" Livingston Taylor track on the SACD and it is terrific. I got to hear him perform it live not long ago. The Chesky recordings feature great sonics (that really being the whole point) but the performances often adhere to Holt's Law IMO.

    What is Holt's Law, you ask? J. Gordon Holt, founder of Stereophile, once asserted something to the effect that "The better the performance the worse the recording, and vise versa."

    on right now:

    Art Pepper: Unreleased Art, Vol. 1
    The Complete Abashiri Concert - November 22, 1981
    Widow's Taste 2CD

    Recently released by Art's widow Laurie. Music is sublime - sonics acceptable. Recorded live to cassette by the sound guy, whose name they have forgotten in the intervening decades. They just credit him as "The Kid"! There's flaws that can be picked apart, but the music supercedes all that in this case.

    You can get this on CDBaby for $20 and it is a must for anyone into Art even slightly.

    Ken, TD and I had a nice visit, though it was cut short. I'm afraid that I'm the one that bombed him with "interesting" music, like Shpongle. Hopefully I will get to hear more of his stuff one of these days.

    Yes, I'd be pleased to spend more time with both of you, thumping my way through your libraries.

    As for Mr. Holt, he and I are eternally joined at the ear because of his published admiration for the JBL Performance Series. Strange bedfellows, indeed; nonetheless, he has a great appreciation of live orchestral music as do I. The way the PS can handle the orchestral experience is magic to me, as my recent obsession with Howard Shore's LOTR The Complete Recordings bears out.

    In fact, it's WHAT'S PLAYING NOW.

    I have admired JGH and his audio writings for many years. I have a fairly complete collection of Stereophile back to about 1980. TD, you are welcome to borrow these anytime to read his output from the days he ran the magazine.

    The follow-on discussion suggested that load-times were more (and perhaps only) related to graphics, and not to thread length, per se. We thought it best to keep the entire "library" here, together - it can be Searched more efficiently being in one thread. Otherwise, if anyone has hard statistics on load times, we will revisit this.

    Ouch. Interesting negotiation style... Please refer to the above, again.

    That is unfortunate. Is the experience truly unique to this thread? Can you please sample some others that have high graphic content? Northwoods picture threads were offered as a comparable where load times can be long, even tho the threads are quite short.

    My third system stack is getting out of control. I just dug out my old single-play Sony CDP-991 and hooked it to the pile in my avatar. First album through the old CD:

    Fleetwood Mac: "Mystery to Me". Nicely balanced for the realistic '70s sound with the 4412As.

    Now I've moved on to something that shows them off a bit better:

    Michael Hedges: "Arial Boundaries". What an amazing talent. Only after his death did i hear him credit Steve Stills with teaching how to play guitar.

    This is the CD I used to demo all my car-audio CD-installations back in the Eighties. I still get chills thinking about driving a BMW M1 I'd just installed the first Sony car CD-player in using ADS speakers. Memories. Isn't that what this is all about anyway?
