Bob,
May I upload some music to your Skydrive account? "It's a Beautiful Day" and "Buckingham Nicks" long out of print. IABD - the band no longer retains rights to the music and a shout out to see David LaFlamme and latest incarnation live if in your area. BN - Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks married and pre-Fleetwood Mac. Legal hassles as well but may be released soon on CD... but have been hearing this for 20 years.
Both of these digital transfers/remasters were a labor of love. IABD is upsampled from a CD I bought off a street hippy in San Francisco. It appears to be a vinyl transfer and sounded OK but the track-by-track levels were all over the place. Final result sounds better but does have a some tape hiss as it was recorded pre-Dolby NR but you may be surprised as how good it does sound considering the source. BN - vinyl transfer that took weeks to de-click by hand. Interestingly BN was the first album recorded in 1973 with LA's Sound City studios new Neve mixing console. The studio and Neve console were famous for a lot familiar recordings for the next 20 years. Sound City Wiki
Bob, if you feel uncomfortable no problem. These recordings are far from EAC but perfectly understand either way.

Could you let us know what phono cartridge was used for this Buckingham Nicks transfer? Sometimes helps us to decide which cartridge to buy for our turntables.arledgsc wrote:OK, will give this a try...

Sure, Dynavector 10x5 high output along with VPI Scout turntable, Audio Research PH2, and Apogee Mini-Me ADC."Could you let us know what phono cartridge was used for this Buckingham Nicks transfer? Sometimes helps us to decide which cartridge to buy for our turntables."
Glad you enjoy them. I'll post more when time allows. Takes a long time to upload on my system. Scott"Thanks for the two albums .. If you have any more, post them .. I didn't have any problem with the DL of either album ..."

Thanks. Nice turntable. There's a VPI Scout sitting a few feet from me right now . Might need to pull my Buckingham Nicks LP from the shelf tonight and give it a spin.

Call me cheap, but I still shudder every time I see a $450 cartridge listed as "entry level" ...arledgsc wrote:Sure, Dynavector 10x5 high output along with VPI Scout turntable, Audio Research PH2, and Apogee Mini-Me ADC."Could you let us know what phono cartridge was used for this Buckingham Nicks transfer?

Moving coil cartridge prices have become crazy in recent years. I can't afford the Ortofons I used to use. I tried a Denon 103R
since it is well reviewed. I found it can't track, can't play bass or high frequencies. Nice midrange, though.
I recently got an Audio Technica AT33PTG from Hong Kong (it isn't sold in the U.S.) and at $500 discounted, it plays music.
As far as I'm concerned, $450 probably is entry level.

Guess I'll "settle" for my Pickering XV15/625E ...
(the sacrifices we make)
I scored a NOS stylus not too long ago, so I figure I'm good for a while again.
Seems to me Soundsmith is about the only ones still making moving iron cartridges. You can get your very own Sussurro for less than $5K ... wotta deal, eh!!

Grado, Nagaoka, and Ortofon make moving iron cartridges.

Just finished uploading a sampler of songs that are sure to please most. Funny how with digital music they can't come up with a uniform sound level or even in the ballpark. The levels vary a bit track-to-track so keep the volume control close if played straight through.
The link will be removed in about two weeks (9-6-13). The intent is demonstration purposes and without compensation. Maybe you will be inclined to purchase some of these fine products and make everyone happy. Enjoy!
Check the boxes next to the Titles, select Download at the top, and Save on your drive.

What are you using for a player front end?
Reason I ask, jRiver Media Center does a decent enough job of compensating for varying playback levels. Enable the feature, and it'll then even things out on either an album or playlist. Not perfect - there are exceptions, mostly based on the file format. Good example is Amazon downloads ... their MP3's for whatever reason still tends toward LOUD.
I've been whining at the good folk at jRiver to allow manual editing of the database where the playback levels are stored, but no luck so far. Perseverance, right? I can be pretty annoying when I want to be.
Anyway ... it's a free download and real reasonable to buy as it's basically got anything you'd ever want for digital storage and playback.

I use Foobar2000 with the Anamon Vertigo wrapper to gloss up the presentation and allow remote control through the iPad. I'm sure Foobar has a method to apply volume level to each track just never tried it. Being a purist at heart I just run a DAC output straight into the ST-120. But you are correct MP3s are loud as heck (compressed). Even CD releases are many times louder versus the same HD release. I find a lot of HD releases peak at -6dB especially the SACD rips."What are you using for a player front end"
