I'm wondering if everybody out there could put their collective knowledge together and contribute or add to a list of "high def" (ie 24 bit or similar) download sites springing up. User experience/exact downloads available etc.
I'll make a start with Linn records and highdeftapetrasfers since I have used them before...
Linnrecords.com
Advatages: Reliable. Good local content (Original scottish recordings) Disadvatages: different formats 24/96 and 24/88.2..and only their original recordings available
highdeftapetransfers.com
Advantages: Incredible selection of old recordings. Amazing sound reproduction..like actually sitting in an old concert hall. One format 24/96. Disadvatages. Web site and ordering
Anybody have experience with following.
musicgiants.com
itrax.com
naxos.com
hdtracks.com
referencerecordings.com
BTW it is a real shame that all apple can do is "itunes plus". How disappointing is that! Still 16 bit and months on the lables signing on just trickle out one by one. As Shrek would say "what a load of X$#^^5t$#%^"
