Hehe . Yes, Amazon says the disc has been delivered. I am away from home but returning today and will rip and listen.[/QUOTE]

Do you check them so you know it's real hi-rez?

Actually one of my big Todo items is to go through my entire library of high-res content and analyze them. Hoping to put this on video and share with membership.

I have checked a sampling and as you can imagine, how "high res" they are varies significantly from one album to another. Vertically integrated labels are the best at it. The worst are remasters.

 

[Joe Whip]

The stuff that disappears from Prostudiomasters usually returns at some point. As an example Joe Pass' Intercontinental disappeared after I bought it and is now back. Interestingly they have it in 24/88.2 whereas HDTracks has it at 24/96.

 

[amirm]

Yes, I have noticed that. Hopefully they all come back as it is the nicest site for sampling and researching music.

 

[NorthStar]

Wow, this is so great; best thread @ WBF...that's what's all about...the ? music. ...I can hear the peace, the joy, the spirit, the holidays, the Christmas season, love is in the air.

* I am listening to classical Opera music right now, on the r.a.d.i.o.

"Four Stars ... (explores) the wonderful colours of a Franz Brodmann fortepiano of 1820. Schiff conjures wisp-like sonorities and never makes an ugly sound ... the Moments musicaux crackle with incisive effects."
