There are also artistic choices done by the mixing engineer and producer. A modern recording may be beyond reproach technically , but the actual sounds put on to it may sound as you discribe . Some one else on this forum made the remark that some 50's microphones had a bit of a hot shouty sound of thier own :) etc.
The old record may have noise distortion and limited frequency response , you may not hear what they actually produced , but enough of it is there for us to enjoy . The made production decision that where more to your liking . This is my pow that the media is almost unimportant , the actual playing ,recording ,producing makes the record. Not if it happens to be a cd , lp , cassette , or hirez file . Audiophiles often obsess over the carrier format, hence why HD tracks seem to able to (re)sell any thing ? I should actually explore more of this music , it's actually missing in my collection :) That's nice with this forum some one always talk about interesting music even in treads not directly about it . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98650 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
