I've downloaded Ray Charles's album "Genius Loves Company" in hi rez hoping to enjoy the music as well as the much touted high quality 'audiophile-grade' recording. Well, the music was a-okay (although I prefer Ray's older material), but the sound quality left me cold. I must say I much prefer the sound quality of Ray's old recordings from the '50s and the '60s. Somehow the sound is livelier on those old tracks. The newly minted tracks (from 2003) are somehow dead sounding (to me).
Anyone else had similar experience? I'm wondering why would a modern recording lose over the old school recordings that were made over fifty years ago using primitive recording equipment? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ heisenberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98650 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
