Yesterday got The Handel Harpsichord music Boxset on my Mail box
 
Ripped them promptly to FLAC and tagged them LOL, uploaded them to my Sony Walkman ZX100 Audio player.... they sound pretty good, the last 4 CDs i already had from Peer2Peer, but decided tor eplace with my CD rips.. the 4 new additions (Roberto Loreggian) were recorded a bit loud as you can see the flac bitrate in the 1000 kbps region
 
But asfter inspecting Borgstede CDs (recorded in 2008) the spectrogram is good enought all lossless to 22KHz
 
But the Loreggina's CDs, despite sounding Good the graph looks odd, it was mastered for spotify and let as is for the CD? or is still lossless?
 

 
At least dumped my illegally downloaded Borgstede Handel Harpsichord suites and replaced with bought CDs

16kHz cutoff is pretty common for mp3, but otherwise it sure looks like a harpsichord spectrogram.

I've dumped all my harpsi recordings.

 
Anybody heard this yet?

Hope it is lossless at it appears some how.. but tha line at 16KHz tells something is odd, they do sound good ocassional mettalic artifcats i know its the harpsichord (at lwast i think that) because my wlkman has a mp3 artifact fixing option (upsacling to 192KHz) and they sound still with harpsichord artifacts, common of italina harpsichords so ima pretty sure they are lossless

It's definitely been low-passed at 16kHz, which you wouldn't see on any normal CD. Almost certainly a lossy mastering, but unless you have really good hearing at 16kHz I doubt the lowpass would matter more than what the actual bitrate of the lossy codec was.

Okay, then i will sop purchasing Brilliant Classics

Yeah I have it, it's good nothing exceptional. Very lyrical playing.
 
Why not sofronitsky or demidenko?

 

[gerelmx1986]

Has anyone experience with Plectra Music CDs?
 
They will release a chambonnieres complete Harpsichord music and i am planning on supporting them instead of Brilliant classics which is also releasing Chambonnieres Music

Have never heard of this label. That's why I'm on here -- learning new stuff.

B​rowsing my extensive FLAC library now at 43,017 tracks 2564 albums, 734GB... turns out i have a CD of Plectra... Marchand and  Clerambault Harpsichord music, very good quality
 
EDIT: Has one of you @CanadianMaestro or some body else tested the ULtrasone performance series? which ones do you recommend me for classical music, baroque, classism, romantic... forget harpsichord this time lol
 
I hate my MDR-1R as they are too midsy (mid-centered)

That's a lot of albums. You need to be selective. 

 
The MDR-1R does a very good job with a lot of genres, just not large-scale classical. I treat it like a closed-HD650. Rich mids. For the price, it isn't bad for classical. I haven't heard any Ultrasone. I prefer my HE560 for classical IF I use Headphones, but number one will always be my floor system.
