Hey all,

Was surfing the hypermeganet :scratch: and came across this:

http://www.digitalstores.co.uk/beatles/productdetail.jsp?productPK=unittest-oKX1JtoPqGy2rgEyqN3IEb-1

How interesting! It looks great but at £200.00 is strictly for the completeists, I'm sure. That said, I bet the 24bit Flac files would sound glorious through a Wadia dock/Chord DAC setup. :eyebrows:

Surely, then, a 180gm reprint will be on the cards, too? Fingers crossed!

Oh, why, thank you. I've come to love my JR149's since I've got them!

Why add all the distortion with a vinyl pressing that the 24bit transfers to CD are supposed to keep out of the playback chain? :scratch:

Same reason some people listen to music via valve amps despite all the added distortion compared to s/s amps, I suppose.

Yep, I agree. The USB is actually on the top of the best-seller list for the site, too!

I agree with Dave on that. Let's face it : there's no way an analog pressing of a digital recording could be possibly better than the digital recording itself...

Yeah, but isn't that assuming that they press off the remasters? I would hope that the original tapes would be used... :confused:

I doubt it ' since 1987 the Vinyl's have been from the same digital master ' so it seems to me a logical progression to use the new one's.

Yep. ;)
The only good point with vinyl is that it's less prone to loudness wars, it seems.
