wow, you spent a lot of money!

grats though, I bet they'll sound great.

These are getting pricey.

$50 for a double LP on heavy wax is one thing...but $50 for a CD :'(

[aardvark baguette]

My wallet is in tears, lol.

But I currently live w/ my parents, so my discretionary money is at an all time high.

I tried to avoid getting any of the releases also offered on the limited 45s by Fantasy or Music Matters, as they are surely better, but I made a few exceptions.

I'm waiting to see if I did really get what I bought; I checked the selections I bought again on their page and they still appear in stock (?) Hopefully nobody beat me to the punch.

I actually would have gladly bought more, had I not just bought an Ear HP4 from renderson on Headfi

And after I rip em....there's always Ebay

[deepak]

The EAR HP4 should be a great amp, Tim De Paravicini's designs are very well respected

[aardvark baguette]

Im hoping my last upgrade for the Senns. I need to focus on music for a while now.

Though I do need better interconnects. But I hate spending money on those.

Of course I'll be running a PICO at the office, for desk space. (And a 2nd pair of Senns if I get tired of my Dennon 2000s; they feel a little heavy and awkward on my skull)

Pictures for anyone interested. Taken by Acoustic Sounds. I'm planning to buy a 'few' more in a few weeks, if they remain available.

I figure this will get me started with a jazz collection.

[postjack]

u crazy son.

and what site will you be torrenting these on?

[deepak]

Oh my god :drool:

[aardvark baguette]

lol

Im not telling my folks how much these cost; they'd shit a turkey dinner if they found out

[aardvark baguette]

One more small update.

I've also bought some of the hoffman Fantasy 45 vinyl: Blakey's Big Beat was backordered

So here is the Fantasy 45 RPM Hoffman mastered stuff awaiting digitization:

[hungrych]

Nice... o.O

[laxx]

You're insane.

[aardvark baguette]

Agreed.

[aardvark baguette]

Here is what the wave form sections look like in Wavlab lite, for anyone interested.

In this case, its The Double Up and Hey Chico, from Lee Morgan's Charisma album [blue Note RVG 24 Edition]

Theres some nice breathing room in there

[aardvark baguette]

You know I should clarify, these are still 16 bit, the remastering was 24 bit. The labels are misleading.

[laxx]

At least there's no clipping. I was just listening to some music I haven't touched since the mid 90's and wow, not very good sounding.

[Augsburger]

Agreed. There is nothing worse, in jazz especially, than a cranked up clipping album of music. Some engineers think buyers of CDs believe if it is loud and distorted, it's high end. Sheeze!

[Dusty Chalk]

If someone could figure out how to declip digitized music, he could make a mint.
