Steve (Empirical Audio) pointed out this website to us, which is offering free downloads of 4 Flac files of 24/96 high res music, made with "high definition tape transfer."

I just downloaded them, and foobar plays them fine, even via spdif out to Oritek Zhaolu DAC.

Fantastic, LIVE-sounding tracks of famous classical recordings. Kind of makes 16/44.1 Flac files sound like MP3's now. Go get'em NOW

Thanks for the heads up

These sound so very good. It's like getting the best of the vinyl world all wrapped up digitally.

I can hear lots of extraneous sounds in these recordings. It's really fun to hear them.

Berlioz Sym. Fant.flac - I couldn't hear anything besides a couple small "pips" or "pops". At 5:14 some one might be whispering but it's too hard to tell.
Daphnis et Chloe.flac - There numerous times when some one wispers or coughs
Historic du Soldat.flac - Some one is talking in the background beginning at 4:00 and is pretty consisntant until 4:20 when it stops.
SaSaensSym3.flac - Interesting sound at 5:21. Is it a truck driving by?

What have you heard in the recordings, well, besides the excellent orchestral music?
