miglto wrote to me and believes that Live in Paris is an analog recording, as he believes that Al Schmitt did not start recording in digital until around 2007.

For what it's worth, and it's probably not worth much, I don't think a digital recording from 2001 would sound as good as what I hear on this ORG LP.

I was preparing to write to Al Schmitt directly and ask him about this matter, but he died three years ago.

So why was it not released on LP till 10 years later and why only on CD and flac till then

Yes. I sold all of my Mo-Fi undisclosed digital transfer LPs.
And I presume you won't buy any like the Steely Dan, etc. recent remasters? Do you find them sub - par and if so, to what?

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the question.
 
My point is, there are many, many reviews of the Steely Dan remasters from MoFi 45RPM known to be the best versions available (and other artists), but you will not consider purchasing them because they're A -> D-> A?

It’s very unlikely MoFi stuff is really good. There are good reviews for everything.

No -- I would not consider purchasing them because I don't care for Steely Dan.

I was merely suggesting that Ron check out her studio albums as well.

Thank you, but I just like the one cover song.

I'm not a big fan of jazz standards or torch songs. And I find the pacing of her songs to be boring and painfully slow.

But painfully slow is perfect for "A Case of You."

Why buy Steely Dan when you have no elevators in your house ? ;)
 
”Burn In Hell” with Twisted Sister is pretty fast ☝ :D !!
I would prefer being flogged and quartered before playing any Twisted Sister on my system :rolleyes: You Swedish guys are insane ! ;)

Would you please delete this, Milan?

Kedar, please delete your irrelevant stuff.

I would appreciate it if you and Kedar would stop polluting my system thread with crap and nonsense and get back to music and audio.

OK. Don’t pollute mine with your video debates which have now been rendered irrelevant due to rinse and repeat for 5 years. Your system thread, fyi, is much less interesting than Lagonda’s discussion. You really need to get some quality videos in for us to start paying attention instead of pulling up the same discussions over and over like digital, analog etc. you don’t even know how to look up vinyl vs digital history yet

Based on who? Check on TAS, Fremer, etc. and they are the best remasters of SD (for example) to date.

Sorry, I don’t base my conclusions on them

Not the way to attract younger members, I say let em' have fun. (My 2 centavos). ;-)

I find it's good to have references, video, audio sites, friends, etc., most folks do. IME the MoFi One Step SD, Paul Simon and Muddy Waters (which I own) are exceptional sounding.

I used SD (that elevator music for those who can't appreciate phenomenal songwriting and musicianship ;-) ) as an example because that's one of the most internet - discussed and I have multiple all - analog versions which pale in comparison.
