I have a modest collection (about 2,000 discs) of classic rock and pop as well as contemporary music on CD pretty solidly from the 50s until now. Some of the masters of music I have on CD dates back to the 1950s and a little maybe from the 1940s. I have significant number of commerical CDs from analog masters before the CD, that were transcribed to CD along the way. By the early 1990s some CD transcriptions are audibly compressed, but the same titles that were first transcribed in the early-mid 1980s can sound pretty good. IME by the early 1970s the sound quality of recorded music was pretty good and remained good then and remained so as long as hyperprocessing and ultramastering were avoided. By then most large studios were solid state from wall to wall, and more than a little mastering was done on early digital recorders. A lot of early digital mastering sounds very good and can date back to the late 1960s. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106621 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
