Fast Forwarding and Indexing BCD-1
« on: 20 Dec 2009, 03:52 pm »
Hi James,

I know I brought this up way back when and indexing has gone the way of the DODO bird, but was there any progress in increasing the search times.

As I listen to a lot of 20th century modern composers I've dozens of discs that have tracks that are 20 minutes or longer, Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians" for example is one track for 56.31 minutes, so finding a  specific movement, even if I know the exact spot on the disc takes a bit of time.  My older Teac VRDS search time was about 10x that of the BCD-1 and it also had indexing so it was never a problem.
A lot of these recordings first came out on vinyl so it was originally only a matter of lifting the stylus, when they were transfered to cd indexing was employed but not tracks.

I have to say though, that since adding a pair of Dynaudio Special 25's a month ago I find they are revealing even more detail and realism out of the BCD-1/BP25/4BSST chain than I thought was possible, captivating.
