Attn: Jazz vinyl collectors. Blue Note is having a " More you buy, more you save sale ". ( I've learned that if I wait, eventually what I want comes up for sale. )

 

[r2muchstuff]

Oh, please. So what if all the '50's are hoarded gone? There's plenty of '60's still available....

Ok, maybe it is spending almost three weeks living with the grandkids or the travel or age. What am I missing? 6N6P is output for Valhalla 2 and now what else?

Thanks for jumping in Sam, I have been busy with other things and was not able to give this more thought.

Glad to help, Tom. As you know, cathode followers can become low frequency oscillators when certain capacitors in the circuit go bad. One step at a time.

You didn't post that, but I know you thought it.

** I too view your comment as high praise. So much so, that I'll be making a trip to Total Wine this weekend to buy a bottle.

I buy the BIB regularly and my son and his neighbor like the bottle I dropped off in Virginia. They know more about bourbons than I ever will. I keep five types in my bar.

 

[Ripper2860]

Well, that certainly seals the deal for me!!

 

[sam6550a]

lol buy all the 70’s and 80’s Melz you want. 1952-1969, fugettaboutit.

The 1952-1969 are all in Finnegan's hideaway.

I used this site and bought a music album from them. Beforehand, I asked the support team if they guaranteed that a particular song on this album was not upconverted from MP3. Having received assurances that he was available 24/48, I checked this statement. Here is a screenshot of the spectral analysis. Do you think this is Hi-Res?

That looks almost brickwalled at 16.5 kHz with some things getting through up to 17 kHz but then it’s empty. I’m no expert on Hi-Rez, but that is not what I would expect.

For a 48 kHz sample rate I would expect things there at 20 kHz and beyond, even if only as noise, but definitely something.

.... that was B.C. (before cowen); this is A.D. (after depletion) ...

I'm yet to be convinced it's worth over-spending on 6n6p for Folkvangr. I think Bill may be the only one who has tried nicer options there, most of the rest of us are just rolling the 6922 pair up front...

.... I swear that I heard the same about Melz 1578s etc from XXXXXXX79 ....

It is rare, but they do pop up. I negotiated a pretty decent price this week for a legit 1959 Melz 1578 but they're getting tough to locate.

Folkvangr, and presumably Valhalla 3 upcoming (and maybe Stjarna, I don't believe Jason has given tube types for that product yet)

 

[Ohno Schiitizen]

Someone here (can't remember who) recommended the Joe Sample cd, Invitation.
I just wanted to say thank you.
It is beyond most excellent!

Could be Ripper, he is a huge fan of Joe Sample.

1959 is a very good year for Melz so you did well. Even the original price was not outrageous, I folks selling lesser versions for similar money.

 

[ArmchairPhilosopher]

I’ll just leave this here.



You’re welcome.

Having received assurances that he was available 24/48, I checked this statement. Here is a screenshot of the spectral analysis. Do you think this is Hi-Res?

Based on the 16.5kHz ceiling (not counting the spurious harmonics), 100% that track was at some point converted to a lossy format, and then reconverted back to PCM.

Today a representative of highresaudio.com answered me and assured me that they are not deceiving anyone and, in their opinion, their version of this song complies with the Hi-Res 24/48 standard. And they also told me that this is a song in the style of electronic pop music, that’s why there are such spectrums.
I have a longer version 16/44,1of this song. You can compare spectral analysis with the so-called Hi-Res:

IIRC, a fair majority of HiRes files are upsampled redbook. There is a site or two that tell you if the music was from masters at resolutions greater than 16/44. Upsampling lossy mp3 to HiRes is fraudulent. I doubt any reputable download site would go that far.
