Fancy, and with reason as they are proven excellent recordings. Long out of print.  Vinyl in unplayed condition, although they have been played once or twice. 

Price: 150.00 plus shipping.

$150 a pop I'd find it very very expensive considering they are used.

FYI, I picked up 15 digitially mastered LPs from my favourite thrift store for only 75cents a pop in mint condition.

Those include "Andrew Davis plays the organ at Roy Thomson Hall"  back in 1982.  The subsonic pipe organ notes virtually shake up my basement audio den. Awesome!

What quality of a LP can be better than digitally mastered??

lol...150 a pop? what makes you think that? I do have a sense of reality..

[Ericus Rex]

Offer C-J a 'deal' at $100 a pop and laugh yourself silly all the way to the bank!

You must be joking

[orthobiz]

It is not clear (at least to me) if it is 150 for the set or each.

Hi.

What "joking"? Wait until you listen to one, then tell me who is joking what?

I have a couple of dozen of digitally mastered lp's.  They don't come close to being at the top of my collection in sound quality.  With a moniker like "Cheap Jack", you may not have encountered any of the Japanese King records, Sheffield Labs, Crystal Clear, the better MFSL, early Blue Note, top end RCA shaded dogs, or any of the lp's that you see advertised as being on the TAS listings.  However, I'm curious.  What are a couple of digital mastered lps that you have that you think are excellent?

[catastrofe]

This was $150 for all 7.

Good point!  Inquiring minds want to know.

Digital mastering negates all of vinyl's qualities which (some say) make it superior to digital:  dynamics, resolution, 'less digital sounding', etc.  You might as well be listening to a CD.  I have listened to some.  They sound very much like CDs.

Hi.

1) I have a couple of dozen of digitally mastered lp's.  They don't come close to being at the top of my collection in sound quality.

(2) With a moniker like "Cheap Jack", you may not have encountered any of the Japanese King records, Sheffield Labs, Crystal Clear, the better MFSL, early Blue Note, top end RCA shaded dogs, or any of the lp's that you see advertised as being on the TAS listings.  However, I'm curious.  What are a couple of digital mastered lps that you have that you think are excellent?

(1) So you have not heard any excellent sounding digitally mastered LPs yet, bud.
     Read my post above again, I already quoted "Andrew Davies (now already knighted Sir Davis), plays the organ at Roy Thomson Hall" recorded
     back 1982. I said it again: the pipe organ sub-bass pedal notes virtually shake up my basement audio den! "Awesome"!
     Have you even heard any subsonic performance of any LPs that can shake up your place? If so, name them!
     Correction: I owned 19 digitally classcial recordings, from Domingo, Pavarotti, Joan Sutherland, to Mozart & Rachmaninov.... all picked up from
     thrift stores for only 75 cents a pop.
   
     Yes, I am always pay cheap to any vendors, from vinly software to audio hardwares. 'Cause I know the audio business way way TOO well.
     Only unwise consumers got ripped off handily by vendors. To any vendors, I am a cheap jack (hence my pen-name!) 
     
     Another digitally mastered LP really worth mentioned is a Telarc recording of "Federick Fennel - The Cleveland Symphony Winds".
     Its dynamic ranges are awesome & make many CDs shy!

(2) Yes, I auditioned Shefffield Lab direct cut LP:- "Missing Linc" by Lincoln Mayorga when it first came out in 1970s. Very impressed considering the rather Lo-Hi gear available back then.   

So tell us what & how good are your "top of collection in sound  quality"??????????

Nope, those 19 digitally mastered LPs I got all sound superb yet lack the clinical coolness of any CDs, DVD-audiio & Blu-ray audios discs.
LPs are LP, so far NONE digital format can touch the emotions & being-there engagment feeling of a LP.

I must say actually that the few Denon Digital mastered LP's I have sound quite good...

[S Clark]

     ... 1982. I said it again: the pipe organ sub-bass pedal notes virtually shake up my basement audio den! "Awesome"!  A sound doesn't have to especially low and certainly not accurate to "shake" the walls, just loud
     Have you even heard any subsonic performance of any LPs that can shake up your place? Excuse me, how are you supposed to "hear" anything subsonic.  It's, uh, sub (below) sonic- below the hearing range   
     Yes, I am always pay cheap to any vendors, from vinly software to audio hardwares. 'Cause I know the audio business way way TOO well.
     Only unwise consumers got ripped off handily by vendors. To any vendors, I am a cheap jack (hence my pen-name!)   Thank goodness we have you to save us from our silly expeditures. Your enlightenment will no doubt save me thousands of dollars that I would have wasted on those non digital lp's
     
     Another digitally mastered LP really worth mentioned is a Telarc recording of "Federick Fennel - The Cleveland Symphony Winds". A sincere thanks for this recommendation.  I will look for a copy.
     Its dynamic ranges are awesome & make many CDs shy!

(2) Yes, I auditioned Shefffield Lab direct cut LP:- "Missing Linc" by Lincoln Mayorga when it first came out in 1970s. Very impressed considering the rather Lo-Hi gear available back then.   Many of those are, including the Mayorga, are still at the very top of sound quality

So tell us what & how good are your "top of collection in sound  quality"?????????? MFSL Elgar's Falstaff conducted by Boult, Sheffield Labs "Thelma Houston and the pressure cooker", Dallas S.O. conducted by Johannos playing Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances and Vocalise",  RCA shaded dog Jasha Heifetz playing Sibelius violin concerto, A. Romero w/Previn and the LSO playing Concierto de Aranjuez on Angel Sonic Series (45 rpm), Rubenstein ..... and I DO have one digitally mastered excellent lp- the St. Paul Cathedral Orc. playing Copland's Appalachian Spring on a Sound 80 label. It was recorded with a short lived 3M digital recorder that lost out in the standardization wars.   

There are some good digital records. For me, they are seldom among the best.  Some Telarcs and Denons are pretty decent. BTW Frederick Fennell has at least 5 Telarc recordings with the CSW- can you narrow it down?

Apologies to the administrators.  I know better than to reply to this stuff.  Sometimes you just can't help it.  That's my last reply to CJ. Period.

(1) I said pipe organs sub-sonic bass notes that virtually shake up my place, nothing else. Yet you diverted it to any sound "doesn't have to special low" - O.T. my friend.

(2) To answer your question: "How are you supposed to "hear" anyhing subsonic", let me quote an acoustic science paper "Acoustic Trauma - Bioeffects of Sound" to enlighten you on this respect:-

"Humans interact with the acoustic environment in many complex ways. The human HEARING system not only consists of the EAR, but also encompasses conduction & mediation via bones, flesh & body cavity.."

LF can be heard thru our ears & can also be felt by our body.

The superb digital-mastered LP by Federick Fennel conducting CSW I have get Handel's The Music for the Royal Fireworks soundtracks on it.
It is these 2 last soundtracks of the Fireworks blow our socks away. Telarc Stereo No: 5038. Hope this can help.

So the only reason you like this performance is because it can shake your bones and organs?

There really is so much more to it than that. Get a massage you may feel better

Please read again my posts before you quoted of context. We are talking sound quality of digitally mastered LPs where bass is one of the substantial benefits overall as digital can theoretically go down to zero Hz (=DC) provided our sound gear can deliver.

Whoever mentioned bass was "the only reason" in this thread? It's YOU just did it.
OK??

In fact I did mention about the dynamic of many digitally mastered LPs can make many CsDs "shy". Correct?

May I suggest you to read carefully before you jump the gun next time?

Cheap uber alles seems to be your somewhat bitter Prime Directive.   There's no need to deride those who pay retail or who don't share you opinions.  If you rave about the bass as an example of why the recording ranks highly to your ears, people are fully justified on touting the merits of other parts of the recordings.

I have a number of vintage "digital masters".  Some are very nice, most are "Meh!"  Who's to say it's the digital masters, vs. superb pressing quality?.  There are far better recordings.

Would I be please to find a copy at 75 cents?  Sure, but unless the LP is in pristine condition I'd pass.
