Best sounding CDs (my audiophile test discs) Vol.2

[@thelowprofile9767]

Don’t you get flagged for copyright infringement by KZbin? I’m curious because other reviewers don’t even play a bit of the songs.

[@anadialog]

Thanks for bringing that up! 🙏 Yes, indeed! Simply you give up monetization. I don’t get a dime from this. But that is ok (even though I am promoting music not USING it). What makes me mad is that a lot of KZbinrs say that they can’t play anything because KZbin will block them or penalize them in some way. Not true, they simply don’t want to give up their cash. It is true that some artists and more specifically some songs like AC/DC don’t allow any kind of reproduction and therefore the video will be blocked. It happened to me a few times BUT it is very rare. That is the whole and naked truth of this. I just wish other KZbinrs would be more transparent on this.

[@knockshinnoch1950]

Terrific selection- always refreshing when people hi-light the less obvious "go to" discs such as Dark Side of the Moon, Steely Dan etc- yes they are good but that particular furrow has been ploughed endlessly. Great to get "new" recommendations. One area a lot of people overlook are the 24 Bit Remastered discs (along with 20 Bit & 22 Bit and 32 Bit!) These are easy to source used and new and many sound fantastic without breaking the bank. One particular disc and track I will recommend is a 32Bit Remaster of "Rescued The Best of Fontella Bass" and the track is her massive 1965 hit "Rescue Me" It sounds exceptional. 1997 release on CHESS 329 335-2 / CHESS MCD 09335 Legendary Masters Series. 3 panel digipack with 12 page booklet. Other discs in the series are just as good sonically too.

[@jaybutler9550]

Always enjoy these videos and appreciate your perspective and insight. Over the past year I’ve picked up some really quality recordings on cd that sound incredible thanks to your videos. Just wanted to say thank you and look forward to more

[@patbarr1351]

I've heard exceptional sound from recordings made on many different types of equipment, so I no longer pay much attention to the chain. One of my favorites sonically and performance-wise is Los Lobos *Kiko* on CD from 1992 (there is an SACD version also). It's not the only great sounding recording I've heard with a Mitchell Froom production credit (The Corrs' *Home* CD is gorgeous as well). The SPARS code says ADD and the mastering is by Bob Ludwig. WB gave the band a lot of creative freedom on that album and it certainly comes out in the finished work!

[@bricktonyb]

I think you should add the Vince Guaraldi Trio soundtrack to a Charlie Brown Christmas. Yes its from 1965, but completely remastered, and a US Library of Congress pick of 1 of 25 for 2012. If your American this will surely bring joyous memories of Christmas. The BluRay Audio of Chrime sounds the best of the multiple copies I have. Good choice though.

@@CIRCLEOFTONE I bought that CD the day it came out. Had no clue who Nevermore was, we just picked a new metal album each Tuesday on release day based on the cover, and we saw it had Sound of Silence on it, so we grabbed it. I delivered pizzas at the time and that CD got stuck in my CD player for like three weeks before I could get it ejected. I wasnt upset that it ejected, but I was glad to have the radio back. I got Avenged Sevenfold Waking the Fallen stuck in it next and it never came out. Couldnt even turn on FM.My buddy took the car when I got a new one and he finally had too replace the unit because that is all that would play lol.

[@RobsonWilliam82]

Just bought Fiona Apple - Tidal, because of your recommendation, and I loved it. Thank you!!!

[@sidesup8286]

Decades ago when our stereos weren't very good, we looked to dorect to disc and other audiophile pressings to elevate our sound quality temporarily, while we played them. Our systems turned back from a chariot back into a pumpkin the second the lp ended. Many of us got into the habit of playing them more often than lesser fidelity recordings which had better and more interesting music. We played audiophile recordings more than they deserved musically, and it resulted in putting sound first and music merit second, and resulted in a lot of us forgetting how to really listen and enjoy music. So we were listening analytically, & instead of the music taking us on a ride, we took control of the steering wheel and were doing the equivelent of riding around the same block.Boring! Maybe the best thing about having a much better stereo now, is just about all our cds sound clean, and we don't have to resort to listening to less than inspired music, which in most ways is a waste of time. Not that there weren't some super fidelity records with interesting music. But how many of those kind of records do you frequently pull out to play now? That is if you've overcome the disease? Of the originals, I occasionally pull out Let It Go by Clair Marlo on Sheffield Labs, or Trackin' by Lew Tabackin on RCA 45RPM or Fatha by Earl Fatha Hines on M&K Realtine. But other than a few like that the only audiophile pressings from back then I play fairly often are some half speed mastered lps. The recordings you reach for the most are the best records...To You. I like Pink Floyd who was mentioned, but sometimes I think they were a little overrated. Crime Of The Century by Supertramp is a greater and more creative work than anything they've done. Lyrically it's up there with A Trick Of The Tail by Genesis and some of The Eagles most philosophical works. It seems like most of the best recordings are nion-audiophile recordings. Which is good, since they don't cost so much. I recently played a cd by a great Latin singer Maria Rita, and I don't think I ever got such a sensation of a real singer actually in my room, and I don't understand a word of her language. It is one of her self titled cds, with her face in profile smiling in black and white. Another great series of recordings for both music and sound is any cd I've heard by the Jazz Fusion singer Marilyn Scott... Sample This by Joe Sample is really a Best Of cd, and the tracks are sonically a whole grade above the cds those songs originally were from. Joe Sample was the keyboard genius for The Crusaders (formerly called The Jazz Crusaders). Really nice stuff and the piano and everything else does have near real life presence, once your stereo is really warmed up. Try playing it 3rd, after playing a few cds before it. The cd Best Of Traffic, the one with near 20 tracks will surprise you with how well the latter Traffic albums especially were recorded. Great music and sound. Here are sone classic modern jazz tracks (hearable on KZbin) that have only fairly good sound, but they and their artists are worth hearing and discovering Always There - Ronnie Laws Lakeshore Drive - Art Porter The Epic - Pat Metheny A video like this can help all the viewers, since we all play music. Videos that spotlight equipment that only 1 in 25 people want, or can afford only benefits about 4% of the viewers. Something to think about. Great video. Thanks!

[@vintagehifilover]

Great post, I'd second the recommendation of Maria Rita self-titled album, i was thinking about it while watching Guido's video earlier actually.

[@robertyoung1777]

I agree. Most of my favorite pop music was recorded live and probably isn’t the best technically but it’s the music I like. Contemporary and some vintage equipment can really bring almost all records to life.

[@sidesup8286]

When I got the Maria Rita cd as part of a big lot, and I heard she wasn't singing in my language, I almost turned it off. But then I listened to that sound. That sound!...Before long I didn't care if I couldn't understand a word. That voice too!...There just must be some real quality people with some real quality recording equipment that show up on certain recordings. I like vintage 1980s and 1990s equipment also. Technology might have gone up a bit, but so have short cuts and compromising for more corporate profit

[@anadialog]

Thanks for sharing your sincere thoughts and experience. It is greatly appreciated and refreshing. Yes, I agree, in past as today many times we go after sound rather than music. I tend to follow all three sections and I think I can say that I am fairly aware of when Indo that: 1. Sound. I love sound, even effects, nature etc. I did a dedicated somewhat odd video on this, which I think you may enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5Xdap6YjKx6psksi=g-B6OZdeTZwv87el 2. Music. A lot of old, low budget or simply bad recordings just don’t sing sonically but they speak to the heart in terms of of art and engagement. 3. Music +sound= magic. Those rare recordings like Crime of the Century that perfectly combine both worlds! Taking notes on your recommendations, thanks!

[@geoffccrow2333]

Use omni directional speakers sitting middle of room. Everything sounds amazing then you can just enjoy everything more

[@DarkJeffau]

The XRCD of Brothers in Arms is excellent.Also the early AAD Hendrix CDS

[@paulatB2B]

Oh dear ... for DS.

[@AntoninPassemardPaintings]

Thanks! I would recomend the label BIS for classical music. The album Malher 3 and 9 from Osmo Vanksa will test your dynamics and soundstage. It is very good way to setup a system. My experience is that a lot of my audiophile friends setup their systems with rock, blues and even jazz but will fall apart with albums I cited earlier. Once they adjust to that of classical orchestra music everything else sounded better. Also I mean the ECM label is a awesome audiophile label with seriously good music.

[@anadialog]

Thanks for the recommendations. I have a problem with symphonic music. The sound is a wall, massive mix with no detail but huge dynamics. I truly can’t stand that, but I do love that in person, live. That is why I love baroque music, chamber music and small ensembles where the instruments are distinct. I know that is not a common perspective and classical buffs probably think that I am crazy but that is the it is for me. In any case, classical music CDs are in most cases very well done so they already start at another level. Will look into your tips BUT I can’t stand ECM. I tried and own several CDs from them but they are just lifeless to my ears. Not all but most of them.

[@AntoninPassemardPaintings]

@@anadialog a system that reproduce a symphony well do not do a wall of sound... you can hear every section of the orchestra if not there is a problem in the system. I do get your point about ECM from 70's to 80's it is more interesting music. My point was only that it is audiophile quality.

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

I wish to see more videos like that. Certainly people should have a possibility to discover more names and a high quality recording. I prefer SACD though.

[@benpit2762]

Love it how you’re truly enjoying these recordings… BTW just curious if you play any instruments? Thanks Guido

[@annonnimuss7344]

Great selection of CDs; the Supertramp and Dave Grusin are top-notch; in my modest test experience, other terrific-sounding CDs are Muddy Waters Folk Singer and Alex De Grassi Altiplano; the first edition of Journey Greatest Hits and the remastered edition of Rush Hemispheres are rock nirvana.

[@david-xg6zl]

Great video again. Saw Supertramp in St Louis at the Keil 1985 great concert and musicianship. The album pressing of Crime of the Century is great and fuller then the CD version. Two other CD's you might want to listen to is Tim Bowman Sweet Sunday CD and Earl Klugh Midnight in San Juan. I was brought up in the 70's but have found many of the cd/albums of those groups are not as good sonically but I have found of the Jazz cd's better records. Thanks Dave

MFSL gets a bad wrap from some audiophiles as snake oil, however, they have put out some absolutely stellar CDs, especially in the mastering arena, which is where it really counts. My go to for the absolute best sounding CD that I own is ELP Trilogy from Mobile Fidelity sound labs put out around the mid 90s, it is just a stellar CD from start to finish well mastered well produced nice packaging, well worth the money if you can find it in my opinion.

[@slowpawstevet3676]

people often suggest good sounding CDs for "testing" and the music is usually boring or awful in some way, the best thing for testing is to play your favourite songs, one in each genre, then you will get the best test results from music you know well, another way to test a system is play something that you like but sounds mediocre, maybe you might think better of it if you get yourself a much better system.

[@lorenmorgan1931]

That first track you played Joe Henderson, I wonder how relevant it was? Reason I ask is is because it's almost identical to Dire Dire Docks on the Mario 64 soundtrack. There is a bridge in that song that actually uses the bridge from Christopher Cross Sailing. Koji Kondo who composed all of the Mario music was known to almost clone many jazz tracks, including the main theme from Super Mario Brothers. I have been trying to for years figure out what he stole for the rest of the tune and I am almost certain this was it. I just added it to my Tidal playlist (looks like 1993 master) and will probably go looking for an original pressing CD or vinyl. Thanks so much!

[@lorenmorgan1931]

And its not at all the same master. They literally erased the string squawks from bass guitar in the intro. What a terrible thing to do.

[@heifetz14]

So not really a composer,just a musical thief.

[@JH-fl3vi]

This style music almost all sounds alike. Like walking bass lines, arpeggios are universal. This style is suited to a soundtrack for video game or movie. With only 12 possible notes and only a few combinations that work harmonically well together (to human ears) it’s really impossible to be completely original.

Bonjour. Félicitations pour vos excellentes sélections. Bravo. Je pourrais conseiller de nombreux albums "audiophiles". Parmi eux, par exemple, les albums de Cassandra Wilson, dont celui la : kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2rPpah5e6uVidEsi=vDLkEj_lk0l8Kp_e kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmjZfaiJqKySlZosi=egH_-k_SWkczxb8C

My God, you're throwing the discs into so much glare from the light you can't see anything! Not to mention chopping off the very top..

[@thelowprofile9767]

So true. I’m sure he reviewed the video but didn’t care.

[@middleearthltd]

Audiophile music is not for me Copyright is easy to avoid but a lot of these self-designated audiophile channels don’t know the rules This channel apparently realizes that you can play copyright music

[@anadialog]

As stated I decide to play music because that is how you are supposed to do things, but most KZbinrs don’t want to lose their money. I give up monetization but I can present you exceptional music and make the video how I want!

[@animale33]

Oh great,, another elevator music best of,, it seems all audiophiles do is sit in room alone and listen to Jazz on their ridiculously Overpriced equipment,, I think Jazz is cool,, sometimes, But C’mon,, The Talking Heads, Rage Against the Machine,, and just about everything from Radiohead and Daft Punk are great audiophile cd’s that won’t put you to sleep

[@anadialog]

The ones you listed, except for a few thinks by Daft Punk are not considerable as test discs. In any case, if you want pop I did the first video for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2ndpKiaqLSppLssi=TuaSljijQQAmOOt0

How do CDs sound better than a high bitrate stream or download? Shocking reveal...they don't. 😯 Physical media only makes sense for storing analog data. Why would I want a CD if I can get better results with newer codecs/standards? The world of hi-fi is full of gimmicks but you know the saying, a fool and his money.

[@anadialog]

Gimmick? For what purpose? I don’t sell anything, only sharing my passion. Did you do an A/B test with a quality CD (possibly the old AAD versions) against the same streaming file with the same resolution? Tell me when you do and…yes, you are welcome! ;-)

[@voenigs612]

Allways the same shit....

[@anadialog]

Please indicate other shit like this, for many it’s pure gold! ;-)

[@paulatB2B]

Using music to enjoy your equipment ... instead of the other way around ... doesn't make sense to me.

[@anadialog]

It’s exactly the opposite. I need quality recordings to test equipment to understand the good and the bad to find ultimately what makes me enjoy more music and when it happens everything else disappears.

[@tuneyouup]

Please no more please

[@bbfoto7248]

Instead of complaining, why don't you actually list YOUR favorites in order to expand his/our horizons, mate?!
