I do not own a turntable and have never heard the "great vinyl sound" coming from a good turntable handled correctly. I am however sligltly interested in purchasing one, as there are some interesting albums out there unavailable on CD.
Recently I found a small clip on the net: A lossless needledrop of Santana's debut album on the MFSL label. Since I own the CD on same label I had something to compare with: I was very disappointed with the needle drop. There were no pops or clicks, but the sound was dead. Can anyone provide some sample clips of very good needle drops? |

I looked at spectra pf my complete repertoire of stuff in my archive that is still at 'hi rez' rates, and it was pretty amusing how most of it is obviously lowpassed at or below 22 kHz....some with extreme brickwall in place -- even when the delivery format is >44.1 kHz. Still there were some that were truly 'full range' at the highrez sample rates, but actual musical material above that frequency is scant --- typically it looks like noise up there with some transient musical material.
No needledrops included in this round (I have to dig them up), just DVD-A rips or SACD transfers. It also appears that I converted all my 'classical' hirez captures to 16/44 at some point, probably to save space at the time. So all I have are some vintage (1960s-70s) recording to show right now -- clips mostly of DVD-A rips. The one SACD representative -- a gorgeous Muddy Waters recording from the 1960s --was captured from the stereo analog out of an Oppo 970 HD player, into an M-audio 2496 card, with Audition as the recording software, set to 88.2/24. All of the 16/44 clips were resampled and reformatted from their highrez counterparts using Audition, with dither (triangular pdf, no noise shaping, dither depth 1, pre and post filtering on) Apparently each of these can only be downloaded 10 times (rapidshare rule) but if there's persistent demand I can repost them. THese are clips, not complete tracks.

You can create a free "Collector's Zone" account to avoid that limitation. Just choose the "Create Collector's Zone account" option when you upload a file to rapidshare.com. After that you can use the account for all uploads. Also, if you are uploading a few files that are related to each other it might be advantageous to wrap them in a single zip or rar package because then the "free" downloaders can get them all at once without waiting 15 minutes after each downloaded file. EDIT: If someone finds comfortable to use RS I uploaded the "all clips.zip" package from Soap's link also to my RS/CZ account: http://rapidshare.com/files/233730933/HA_t...2_all_clips.zip (50.5 MB) This post has been edited by Alex B: May 16 2009, 19:16 -------------------- http://listening-tests.freetzi.com
