For pure sound and amazing music, check out The Blue Nile, a Scottish band from the 80's. They only made 4 albums, however the first 2 - "Walk across the Rooftops" and "Hats".... some of the best sound ever committed to CD. They demo'ed for Linn hi-fi products and they liked how it highlighted all aspects of their very high end audio products so much they started the Linn Records label to promote the band. Late night, lights off, volume up and immerse yourself in the sound.....
Man I have never heard about them. Will check them out right away!! Thank you so much.
If you like cello, I highly recommend:
Jacqueline Du Pré - Elgar Cello Concerto, by Esoteric (SACD, 2022). Not very cheap, but essential!
I also highly recommend RCA Living Stereo's SACD series. I got a lot of them a few years ago, and very cheap (even though they are SACDs).
One of my favorite albums is Carlos Kleiber - Beethoven Symphonies Nos. 5 & 7. The SACD is very good, although the recent vinyl reissue in Deutsche Grammophon's Original Source Series is spectacular.
I just got introduced to Sara Bareilles - Live at the playhouse. Wowee that woman can sing, her cover of sittin on the dock of the bay will bring you to your knees.
I have to check that out. Thanks!!
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 Just listened to her. She is all right ,but at least for me, nothing special. Check Dominique Fils-Aime's voice and sound . You will tremble.
This is amazing!!! I highly recommend â€
Enjoy your videos. When reviewing top audiophile CDs would you consider putting a list of the items shown, so that we can take a snapshot of the recommendations you have made. It would make searching for them much easier.
Yes that would be a good idea! Iâll put it in the description next time. Thanks for watching.
Classic : Vivaldi - The Four Seasons (philips cd - Felix Ayo version)
Jazz & world music : Kora Jazz Trio - Pt.1, Pt.2 and Pt.3 .
Metal: Tool - Fear Inoculum, Metallica - Black (remastered) .
Jazz classic : Dave Brubeck - Time Out (remastered).
Rock : Radiohead - The best Of (remastered).
Modern Blues : Dominique Fils-Aime - Nameless.
This is GOLD! Thank you so much. Ill head to discogs right away and add to the waitlist!
Radiohead is an awesome suggestion. Also Smashing Pumpkins - Gish(2011 remastered)
Tracy Chapman - âTelling Storiesâ HDCD the music is outstanding, and the CD is very well mastered.
Hi Jonas, from New Zealand. It's great to talk about good-sounding CDs, because they are so plentiful, and at prices we could only wish for 20 years ago.
My take on selecting classical and jazz cds is to go to the major labels, due to the expense and complexity of recording huge orchestras and major artistes. You need the right halls, studios, microphones, engineers etc. (Not so much with jazz).
Some examples:-
Blue Note : Kenny Burrell : Midnight Blue .
Impulse : Out of the Cool, Gil Evans.
Verve : Blossom Dearie, Once upon a Summertime; Ella F , The intimate Ella ; Oscar Peterson Trio.
Decca, EMI, Deutsche Gram, CBS/ Sony for Classical music : Examples :-
Stravinski, Rite of Spring ; Tchaikovsky Symphonies 4,5 and 6; Mussorgsky , Pictures at an Exhibition etc.
Thank you for your enthusiasm and candour.đ
Thank you so much for watching and interacting in the comments. It means the world! This is the fun part. To have a short but rewarding conversation! I know what you talk about about the big companyâs. Iâm a huge jazz enthusiast so BN and Impulse are a big part of my collection. Great recordings and performances. But I should have thought the same goes with classical. Iâll check your suggestions out! Very nice of you to share!! //Jonas
Opus 3 produced a lot of great sounding and performance wise classical CD's and the high rez specialty label 2L (Blu-ray, SACD & MQA CD's) is utterly FANTASTIC and openly celebrates the "Nordic Sound".
I have a few but I think I need to dive deeper into the catalogue. Thanks for reminding me.
The best, I mean THE BEST METAL album ever made , and the most audiophile, is TOOL - Fear Inoculum . End of story . Hard to get these days. Please like if you agree.
Love tool but dont have that on cd. Need to check it out!
Marco Sfogli reMarcobleâŠMetallica, Load⊠Tool, Fear Inoculum Just my opinion of course.
Marco Sfogli reMarcobleâŠMetallica, Load⊠Tool, Fear Inoculum Just my opinion of course. Itâs hard to make metal sound good/audiophile đ
I would suggest Making Music by Zakir Hussain with Jan Garbarek and John McLaughlin. Even by ECM standards it is pretty amazing. ECM usually master their records quite low so there is plenty of work for the amp to do.
I do agree that Fear Inoculum is the best recorded and sounding metal album of all time! It sounds incredible on high volume, itâs insane how good it is!
Greetings from Norway. Just bought the Terje Rypdal CD after watching this đ You should also consider productions from Kirkelig Kulturverksted, a independent record label in Norway. Many great sounding CDÂŽs.
I hope you like it now that I recommended it. I think itâs wonderful. Please write when you have listens to it. Nice with a follow up.
That is a label I never heard of. Will check em out for sure!
My 3 favourite audiophile metal CDs: Judas Priest "Stained Class" (original not remastered version), Dream Theater "Awake" and The Gathering "Mandylion"
Great picks. I know the music but never heard other than stream. Or maybe Dream Theater but I need to revisit it in that case. Thanks!!
The Cardigans 'Long Gone Before Daylight' is a very underrated album, beautiful recording and sounds incredible on CD to my ears. I've got the vinyl reissue and borrowed the expensive SACD, but prefer the bog standard CD you can pick up for a quid or two to both. Great couple of videos, thanks.
That is so awesome. The vinyl reissue is actually one of my to go to records when testing out new equipment or just want to flex my system for friends and family. Who am I kidding. Mostly my mom.
Anyway. As you say. Amazing and underrated record. Iâll shop the cd!
@@SublimMedia It could just be my vinyl copy of course! New records don't seem like an exact science nowadays do they? It's a different kind of recording, but the A Camp album 'Colonia' is full of incredible songs too and is definitely overlooked in the UK. She writes lyrics as clever as Elvis Costello, in her second language presumably. Somebody should get that out on vinyl.
FANTASTIC album. One of the best in Sweden, ever!
First off thank you for broadening my music listening.
Regarding Metal, I use two songs to test equipment with(I know you asked for albums, sorry).
1. Polyphia - 40oz
2. Archspire - Human Murmuration(the louder the better)
Also, my two favorite testing albums are
1. Alabama Shakes - Sound & Color
2. Smashing Pumpkins - Gish(deluxe edition)(2011 remastered)especially "Suffer"
I would also suggest Bjork - Hunter(song not album) and both Beck's albums "Colors" & "Morning Phase".
One of my favorite audiophile cds to listen to is Boz Scaggs - Dig.
Boz is an artist I havenât really checked out so a perfect time to do!
Dave Grusin - the Migration album. Incredibly well-recorded reference CD. One of the guest musicians is Hugh Masekela who plays flugelhorn on the track Polina.
For classic music, this I my favourite and honestly one of my favourite albums of all time, and Iâm like you not a classical guy. Awesome album with great dynamics. Go and find out the original first cd press for the best sound!
Arvo PĂ€rt - Tabula Rasa
RCA Living Stereo - Fritz Reiner, Chicago SO, Rimsky-Korsakov - Scheherzade and Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition (SACD). There are Analogue Production remaster as well.
All Diana Krall, especially Turn up the Quiet are my favorite. I have the CD and SACD versions, they both are great sounding
In line with the music You (and I) like, if You haven't heard of; Yoshiko Kishino - Nuage is also a great sounding CD
Ibrahim Maalouf is also recorded well in all His albums, musically I love Levantine Symphony No.1
MĂłnica Molina albums are all recorded very well and especially Vuela sounds amazing
Sheku Kanneh-Mason - Inspiration along with all His albums sounds great
Very similar to my humble Silje collection are Stacey Kent albums, I Know I Dream - the Orchestral Sessions being only slightly better sounding than the others
For classical music, what worked for me is; finding my most favorite ones to start with, since as You have said, it's an ocean out there. For example I prefer concertos (basically solo instrument against an orchestra) and string quartets (quintets with guest appearances) along with composers that I prefer, like I prefer Dvorak over any composer. This worked for me better than going out for any classical album out there.
Thanks for the lists. Subscribed, will watch all videos. Looking for the new ones.
I will save you some reading and gift these Arvo Part, Portrait - Angele Dubeau & LA Pieta. Arvo Part, Te Deum. Satie, pianowoks - riri shimada. Easy move to classical for me from Prog rock and Ambient with these.
Oh thatâs awesome of you!! Thanks!
Classical / Jazz fusion : Go for John Lewis playing Bach Preludes & Fugues Book 1 (itâs got Piano, Violin, Viola, Guitar and Bass). Beautiful recording.
Oh man. Yes I will definitely do that. Thanks.
Here's a couple:
Grace Jones - Inside Story
Level 42 - World Machine
I have tried Level 42 and maybe not at all the same but itâs like Yellow. Not my thing at all. Grace Jones on the other hand is one I really like. Had all the LPs. Iâll see if I can hunt down a cd copy!
You keep coming up with ones that I had not heard yet. Please keep it up. I could easily watch another list. Love this.
Classical List:
Jean Sibelius Symphony Number 3, Loren Maazel conducting Pittsburgh Symphony.
Dvorak Symphony No. 9, Leonard Bernstein conducting New York Philharmonic (has to be this orchestra not Israel Symphony - sound is not so modern but performance is oh so good)
Vaughn Williams Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis Leonard Slatkin (Unbelievable sound and the Adagio for Strings that follows it on the CD is equally stunning and so emotionally played)
Thank you so much. This will be so helpful in diving into classical music with good recording. I will post more cds in the future. Promise!!
Jeff Buckley-Grace is the best album ever. Found a great sounding early Uk version on vinyl. Have three different cd:s as well.
Oh yes a great album indeed!!
Yes! CDs are the future (and the past)!
Well. I do t want to think of one or the other. Both have its place and for me CDs are fun right now due to the prices of vinyl and CDs being cheap.
I recently discovered the Treetop Flyers album The Mountain Moves, it is a fabulous album with a great sound.
Never heard of it but will check it out.
Opus 3 label has been famous with Sounds, TAS, Stereophile, etc since the late 1970s.
Well known as being extremely well recorded and often in spaces that sound tremendous as well.
Puzzle by Dada is an incredible sounding rock album. (The remastered version with bonus tracks is even better)
Nice!!! Thanx!!
Great sounding metal cd (and an amazing production and album):
Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle 1998.
And:
Tool - 10000 Days 2006
I have tool but donât know about Ayreon. Will check them out. Thanks!
Great video. One CD recommendation in the Hard Rock/Metal genre is the band Dream Theater my favorite album is Awake. But one of my utmost favorite songs is from their Metropolis Pt 2 CD: The Spirit Carries OnâŠ.that song tears me up. You can feel Jamesâ emotion on that track.
I love early Dream Theater but I have some problem with James voice in some tracks. Metropolis Pt 2 is a masterpiece!
hi! much more interesting list then previous list.. this is what i like when videos like this inspire me to discover new music .. many artists from this list in unknown to me.. thumbs up for Cohen and Alie in Chains. Actually, i think that Alice in Chains album Dirt sounds pretty good on both vinyl and CD. From the metal side of things.. i think that latest Tool record fear Inoculum sounds incredible on both CD, streaming and CD. Meshuggah albums sound pretty good, especially drum sound.
I have the latest tool on vinyl and it sounds great. Meshuggah is a band I collected many years ago on vinyl but sold them all. Have some on cd but it's the earliest period. Wouldent say it's audiophile by any stretch but they are recorded good. Later sounds better! Thanks for watching
I will list some of my favorites in the future. As far as the Almand Brothers Nautilus did a half speed mastered vinyl version back in the early 1980s. They did a nice job.
I just got a Nautilus press of a STYX album but havenât listened to that yet. I have heard great things about them.
Did you mean The Allman Brothers?
I always enjoyed Laurie Anderson's recordings, in particular her 'Life on a String' album. Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks for the suggestion. Not an artist I have heard much with so perfect to start there.
And the new Deep Purple release produced by Bob Ezrin is excellent sonically and performance wise as well.
Thatâs great to hear. I never have any expectations of the old heroes when they release anything. I do t want to be disappointed. This will go to my listening pile today at work. đđ
Hi Jonas,
Nice to see that you listen to my advice regarding Tiny island.
I listened to Stina Nordenstam, but that wasnât my cup of thea.
If I donât like the music, it doesnât matter how god it sounds.
Regarding classical music and cello, I must recomend Essential Bach on the DECCA label, especially Sleepers awake. Marvelous.
Artists that allmost allways sound god on CD and have fantastic music, are Sophie Zelmani and Jackson Browne.
Regarding SACD Dire Straits Dire Straits (MOFI) and Steely Dan Gaucho are two of my favorite album, not named before.
Benke from Kungsbackađ
Hi. Yes Tiny Island. Man what a good sounding recording that is! Thanks for the suggestions. Iâll dive into them tomorrow at work!
Itâs not mettle but I love Sade lovers rock and love deluxe just so beautiful to listen to and very well recorded â€
Hahaha. No anti-metal almost but i agree its great records by a great artist. Have them on LP
@@SublimMedia đđŹđ§
My favourite cd from 2023? "Folkocracy" Rufus Wainwright. I was not surprised but a little disappointed when it was not honoured as Grammy Winner in the folk category. Joni Mitchell's live singalong from the Newport Folk Festival won on a wave of emotion.
Instead Rufus' cd was my favourite for A&R choices, and perhaps more important was the pure beauty of voice and tasteful instrumentation. I cannot stop listening!
it will be fun for sure
Beck Sea change is total magic
Agree đŻ
i come back to Beck - Mutations a lot also
Metalheads try Susperia - unlimited, and Ensiferum - one man armyđi also like Cecilia vennersten and Frida from Abba(made the org - somethings going on) bomfunk mc's made a good cover on it too
This is gold!! Thank you so much.
Suggest: Ry Cooder's album "Bop 'till You Drop" and "Lyle Lovett's "North Dakota" (from his album "Joshua Judges Ruth."
I have some Cooder but I have to be honest and say that he is not my favorite artist. Itâs just something with his voice and guitar tone that doesent work for me. Lovett is great. Donât have any by him. Iâll check that out. Thanks!!!
Classic Music:
Try Osmo VĂ€nskĂ€ Gustav Mahler Symphony Cycle with the Minnesota Orchestra on SACD awesome sound quality and superbe interpretationđđ
Just beginn with the 7th or 4th Symponyđ
Oh man I will. I will start to check it out tomorrow at work and later seek out the sacd
Another interesting mix. I donât have many classical but one l do play a lot is Cantata Domino SACD which is very cheap on Amazon and itâs sounds absolutely wonderful. Proprius music 2003
Thanks for the suggestion. I really need to dip my toe in more classical!
GM from Toronto âïžđ„
Physical Media is King đ
Awesome! Thanks man!
Be sure to hear the Santana III Legacy edition CD. Outstanding! And the live Fillmore show on the second disc will blow you away
Hi, I have a couple of suggestions that you might enjoy -
Sly and Robbie - Nordub
Liquid Tension Experiment - the first album
Try them on cd and see what you think.
Oh man I remember LTE from when I was practicing guitar at a guitar school and was super in to more modern prog. I need to seek that out! Sly and Robbie I have only scratched the surface on so this is a great suggestion. Thanks
I have 2003 30 TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION SACD THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. Dose Japanese '84 sound better ?
I havenât heard that one so canât say. I bet there is a bunch of different people on the hoffman forum that has opinions on the sacd. I would love to hear how it sounds!!
Thanks for this good Video. Masakelas CD is one of the best sounding Live-albums ever. The Music is world class too. If you want more skandinavian artitsts: The german label ACT (Munich) has one of the biggest catalog with scandinavian musicians, the first swedish artist on ACT was Nils Landgren, he hires all the others from scandinavia to ACT. All tbhe albums of ACT are best sounding and musically great. Its the same with the Label ECM (Munich, Label of Terje Rypdal), most important sound engineer of ECM: Jan Erik Kongshaug (Norway).
I have a few ACT. Maybe one will be in a future video đ. They deserve to be shown and talked about for sure!
Hi. Check out The Drottningholm Baroque Ensemble's recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, it is my favourite. Also have a listen to the ECM album "Le pas du chat noir" by Anouar Brahem. Love your work!
Wow. Thanks. Will try them out at work tomorrow. Perfect Monday music I imagine.
I respect the vinyl peoples but I just can't afford that life. I know me. I'd go broke buying records. I picked up a decent mid-range DAC and a used CD transport and have managed to put together a substantial collection from eBay and thrift shops. It really is a great way to collect physical music.
Yes it really is! The vinyl game is extremely expensive now a days. Cds are great to collect. And fun!
Great Metal Sound: Deep Purple In Rock [SHM-CD], Ozzy Osbourne Ozzmosis, Iron Maiden Wild Frontier
Thanks. Will absolutely check it out
If you collect CDâs in 2024, look up âPre-emphasisâ and âDe-emphasis.â If youâve backed up a large portion of your CDs over the years, get ready to do them again. CDâs released prior to 2000 are defective unless properly de-emphasized. Thereâs plenty to read on this topic.
First Black Sabbath album sounds good on deluxe cd.
Oh that is one Iâll seek out most definitely. I have the first German press on vinyl so I never looked for any on cd.
Check out the new Kerry King (Slayer) solo release as it is very, VERY well recorded and the performance is great too!
Oh, Iâll definitely do that. Cool!!
Classical music is so much more interesting than popmusic and is on a higher level and concerning audiophile recordings like sacd, bluray audio so much more valuable!
You need to work on that attitude.
If you cannot appreciate both The Ramones and Rachmaninoff, The Police and Purcell, Corelli and The Clash, then you are missing out.
ââââ@@sammencia7945 Obviously you have a cheap taste and not a lot of knolledge concerning music in general .
Good tastes do not differ only bad ones.....
By the way ; I dont need to do anything ! đ
21:06 hit to the end .
Whatâs you digital playback set up.
Mine is the Audiolab 6000CDT feeding my Denafrips Ares 12-1 DAC ..into my headphone stack đ
Oh sounds cool. I have a Marantz UD8004 and a Bladelius power amp. Works perfect with my Focals
Thanks for the music suggestions. A couple of suggestions for you: 'Convergence' (2014) by Malia & Boris Blank. 'Ignorance' (2021) by The Weather Station.
As for well recorded metal albums, try 'Fortitude' (2021) by Gojira.
Thanks. Gojira is a great band but ne i dont have any records by. I can imagine they sound good so ill see if i can track it down. The Malia/Boris is one i have on vinyl and its one of my to go to records when testing new equipment. Love it!
@@SublimMedia Last night I listened for the first time to 'If You Wait' (2013) by London Grammar. It is a very good recording but did same a little samey although that may change with repeated listening.
Yup, a lot of Excellent Music comes out of Scandinavia. đđœđđœđđ
Try Jackson Browne Naked Ride Home and Van Morrison Back on Top.
Berlioz symphony fantastique. Kojian with the Utah symphony published in 1989 US CD. Itâs a gem.
Thank you so much. This is awesome!!
Morbid Angel - Blessed Are The Sick for a well recorded death metal CD
That is interesting. Never saw them as a good recorded group but I will check it out straight away.
@@SublimMediaAltars Of Madness was very tinny sounding like early Metallica.. IMO, Blessed added a meatiness to the sound. Iâm not a fan of the âBlackâ album, but that step up in thickness from âAnd Justiceâ to âBlackâ is similar to Altars to Blessed.
Khmer by Nils Petter MolvĂŠr on ECM. Is it jazz? Maybe. Sounds good, whatever it is. For Orchestral music, Fritz Reiner conducts Lt Kije on RCA Living Stereo. Metal? Surfing With The Alien by Joe Satriani is worth owning for the song Always With Me, Always With You.
I think I have Satrianis Alien but I have to check tomorrow. I remember it as a good sounding cd. Itâs been a few years since I played it.
Thanks friend
What you think about the cure band recording? A couple live are very very good,entreat live and Paris live 1992 âŠcheers from Spain
Iâm not a huge fan of Cure. Never really got into them. But I have a lot of friends that loves them so they must be doing something right!
Great sounding metal album!
Tool - Fear Inoculum
AC/DC - Back In Black
Rage Against The Machine - S/T, audio fidelity
You really canât go wrong with any Tool album! Their first album is really punchy & fat sounding!
Hey Jonas! Enjoying these music vids, good stuff. Please can you leave the artist album info on the screen for longer or leave it in a banner? Hope so. Cheers!
I tried this time but took so much space but Iâll try to leave it longer next time. Thanks!
Thank you! It would make it easier to get the album info without pausing or rewinding the video.
Here are a couple of CDs you might try:
The Strokes; The New Abnormal
Lucinda Williams; Car wheels on a Gravel Road
Emmylou Harris; wrecking Ball
Talk Talk; the colour of Spring
Shelby Lynne; just a little lovinâ
Keep up the good work!
What is your favorite cd version of Pink Floyd The Wall. I have a Harvey pressing that sounds great.
Hello
You made me interested in the cello album, must try it.
Are you selling some music in future recordfairs here in Sweden?
No I donât have any fairs planed. Iâm going to Solna but only to participate.
Smashing pumkins - Gish, Soungarden - Superunknown but theese an Alice in Chain s is not metal but grunch from Seattle!âïž
Not a fan of Gish but love Superunknown! I grew up in the grunge era and besides Nirvana, Soundgarden was my to go to band.
from metal really good quality for my taste is album Marilyn Manson - Pale emperor, it is so damn clean :)
Oh. I have mechanical animals but not Pale. Iâll try to find a copy!
@@SublimMedia I got mechanical animals and few other but I really think that pale emperor is much better recorded than them all
Suggest you listen to any of the Japanese blu spec Cds of Bob Dylan. Great sound and blow vinyl editions and SACD releases away.
Miles Davis Quincy Jones Montreux 1991
Oh Iâm a big Miles fan but never heard that one. Will check out. Thanks
Is vinyl becoming too expensive?
Deftones-Angeleyes
the Stina Nordenstam i have a song recorded in a compilation of 90ÂŽs songs, litle star i only today knew she was swedish as the Leonard Cohen LP i also have it in cd with a remixed version of" you want it darker"excelent song , the unplugged from Alice in chains i also have the cd and the video as the main singer Stanley Clark ,is it? is so weak he strugles to sing (due to his heroin adiction )and the main writter of most of the songs ,jerry Cantrel completes the voice as they normally sing together , but i wouldnÂŽt buy it but my sister left it on my home and i told her but she till today never went for it so i have to keep it but the video is superb , the jazz one i didnÂŽt knew it and i prefer also live recordings like Art Blackey and the Messengers or Miles Davis both live in Tunisia but the Hugh Masekela it sounds real in record the cd canÂŽt reproduce the real sound of instruments or the levels are wrong or too tight to eachother the tracks in one song so that it will sound even better in record for sure i heard the cd but still looking for it in record or vinyl or wax if coloured and always had and have good cd players as good turntables and a modern device that can also read records but with dificulties and some play others donÂŽt i even found one that seemed good a P10 from Rega as itÂŽs cd players so well talked about in the 90ÂŽs and not one was near my cd players quality ,i think one was good but around what is 5.000⏠today ,i compare them with high end models from Pioneer that a lot of called audiophile cd players cost a lot of money but bellow Pioneer high-end quality, the PD-7300, PD-9700, PD-9000 ,PD-73 , PD-S801 , PD-S705, PD-S904 amongst others, but have a copland and a new CEC that i had already in late 90ÂŽs a very good belt driven cd player ,today is still for sale at 36.000âŹ, mine was ofered and if i knew the price i wouldnÂŽt buy it or acepted it as a offer, also a TEAC not that old(90ÂŽs) but only transport ,i think itÂŽs a VRDS-10 or 20 not sure as i had both at home but they look the same and sound is also very close, depending on the caracther of the music, the first LP from jeff buckley is excelent i have the first release, i think it had a sticker with the european tour concerts on the cover, he died in a strange way as his father Tim also had a strange death known by the "song to a siren "singed by elizabeth frazer from Cocteau Twins on the first this mortal coil E.P or Maxi . Also didnÂŽt knew Anne Gastinel and if you love celloÂŽs, you might like the Ella Fitzgerald Colle Porter song book, 62 i think it as the song" I love Paris" that as a part where several celloÂŽs play together i think itÂŽs only beautifull how they sound, thatÂŽs why i think that everybody who loves music needs a equalizer as it can bring to the front sounds sometimes hidden in the back because of the general poor reception of only one microphone hanging over the classic isntruments band or a processor like the dynamic expander that can bring in old recordings the instruments heard in the back, depending on the equipment one as, the funny thing is that before the year 1980 when all brands decreased a lot their components sound quality, i never conected mine at home but when buying more cds also when they found a cheap material to built cds as it were too expensive before 1990 i think as i had only 7 cds till 1993 and after i needed always a equalizer to put the sound more real to what they had done in studio as most of the artists excluding Sting "ten sumonerÂŽs taleÂŽs " or close ,recorded their albums in analogue . Well ,some new artists i never heard as i donÂŽt know much nothern european bands or eastern, as i think hedningarnan that i saw three concerts and how good they sounded at least till their 1997 album after i only know karelia or similar not sure if i wrotte it well, but how good they sounded i remenber seeing them after the third marylin manson LP tour ,the one with beautifull people he lost his strenght after mechanical animals that still as nice songs for itÂŽs style at the time, after i donÂŽt even know what is that. She danced with me and the sea beneath my sould is from that album , never found other maybe the distribution not made by a major label only know that one, Tiny Island ,itÂŽs all great and recorded it into a dat cassette from a cd that a dutch friend had, about the DARK SIDE of the MOON i have a record bought in 73 itÂŽs the best all others have the sound damaged and stranged ,if that didnÂŽt sounded so good not another would be re-re-reX1000 remasterized or descomposed and destroyd arenÂŽt nothing, itÂŽs only trying to improve perfection, i canÂŽt hear it no longer but there is time and that song that starts with the lunatic is on the moon ...braindamge i think are still the ones i hear from time to time or from ten to 20nyears diference ,Animals, Relics and saucerfull of secrets are the ones i hear the most and the pompey concert in dvd or VHS or whatever is incredible good and wasnÂŽt too long you could record more two hours of video and not enough to show all titles that deserve to be showed as a must have in cd(this last two letters i had dificultie in writting them, regards and have a nice weekend
Hello can You leave the audiophile aspect away, just the focus music quality, itâs even more interesting!đ
Why? I talk about music all the time and have been for 14 years so a special episode to talk about the audio quality is pretty ok if you ask me đđ
@@SublimMedia donât worry Love Your channel maxinum support. Maybe Iâ m fed up too much the audiophile clishĂ©. Iâmi in hifi for 30 Years, finally I quit. I have professional audo lisstening room I have never been so close to music before. High end is a huge maketing bullshit. All rounder soundsystem is exist. Less difference in aoun quality in realityâŠ
Dire Straits Money for Nothing
Showed the SACD at the end of the first video. It sounds amazing!
I don't know if it is metal or even more than that, but I find this album very satisfying both in artistic and engineering perspective: "Into the Electric Castle" by Ayreon.
czcams.com/video/_423a0qviDY/video.html
Never heard of it. Iâll check it out. Thanks!
Definitely worth checking out đ
Tell us what gear you use . CD player especially, and cables. Or DAC.
Yes of course. I use a Marantz UD8004 that works with most formats and plays great.
@@SublimMedia Nice. I use a Denon dcd-1550ar. Not great but decent .
@@serpex77 I bought mine used. I needed one that could play SACD too and it got some great reviews back in the day. Except for beeing super slow, it's a great player.
â@@SublimMedia I do not know if you find it on CD , but I recommend you to listen to Dominique Fils-Aime's albums . They sound great, really audiophile . Some high end manufacturers use them at Hi-Fi conferences for testing equipment. Check out the song " Birds" . Enjoy!
â@@SublimMediaWhat speakers and amp do you use?

FYI..Alice In Chains is NOT a Metal band...Typically they are labelled as Grunge..A'la- Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Mad Season, Mother Love Bone, Candlebox, Mudhoney, Bush..to name a few.
Yes I know. I was a huge grunge fan mid 90s playing guitar to all the cds. Nirvana and soundgarden was my to go to! I generalized a bit saying metal. I think people that wasent there when it happened just pile it up as metal. But I might be wrong g đ. Thanks for watching!!
Tenhi, Tenhi, and Tenhi.
Never heard of. Will search them out.
@@SublimMedia Tenhi is a Neo Folk band hailed from Finland.
