Vinyl

Someone at Instructables has a Proggy collection:

^ You could......that is a VPI-HRX, with one tonearm runs about $15,000.00, probably add another $1,200 for 2nd arm.

Quite a few of my early albums are mono.

More reading to add to the confusion......http://www.analogplanet.com/content/mo-fis-kob-kind-blah#fFHd5BwH4GLUuuyb.97 You can also check out the Steve Hoffman website, those guys are very critical of their vinyl versions, you can get insight on what versions are highly regarded for sound quality.

Thanks for the article. It's expensive and still not a perfect reissue 

I definitely need more. I've heard a dozen or so but only have that and some Altlantic-era stuff on CD.

A reissue, the internet says 1980. I can't imagine I could get a good quality original for 15 bucks.

^^ I agree, it's not as captivating Curiously, I bought Museo Rosenbach's Zarathustra on CD (since the LP's are awfully expensive) and it says "24 bit remaster", but it obviously don't have that much depth. It sounds quite great for a CD though.

^They have that Columbia one, but this one also seems interesting: http://www.discogs.com/Miles-Davis-Kind-Of-Blue/release/5643121 I know about that new one, but I don't love the album that much

^ I have been listening to the CD version of Love, Fear......it misses the mark for holding my aural attention. I really think it has to do with quality of sound, sure it has a pitch black background in between songs..duh! But since the CD is dumbed down to 16bit and the vinyl is mastered from 24bit, I just sense pcs of music are missing on the CD. There is also a bit of loss on the sound staging with the CD, the music is narrow focused, while the vinyl is wide and inviting.
