Trying the channel classics shopping experience . Some observations , a bit geared towards audiophiles , the are using "van den hul cables" for example and they shills some jplay and other myth driven software ,which pretty much does away with any technical cred they might had . So i wont buy into anything they say about DSD .
Slow horrible java driven downloader !? thats 1/smart . whats wrong with rigth click and save a zip file ,why make something incredible simple convoluted . Never the less they may still make decent recordings , professionals are not imune to audio voodoo either , but it may not stop them from making good records lets see and hear some of the stuff first . And thier studio equipment is also custom stuff ,but equipment with a certain character of thier own is used as a tool by many pro's thats fine with me it can be a part of the creative process . Intend to sample some more stuff . if it makes musically sense to me I can tolerate some idiosyncrasies , even established vendors makes things hard too sometimes . Hopefully they are not as bad as other "audiophile labels" :) but their chosen genre makes it easier . the usual mo for audiophile labels is often excellent recordings of "meh" artist you never heard of ( and probably should not hear, if where not for these audiophile labels .... ) Wonder why not classical orchestras or artist uses Bandcamp more often it would work very well ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
