"I have long believed that vibration control, as well as other so-called "high end audio" signal enhancement disciplines, is beneficial not only for CD playback, but would also be of great benefit in the process of manufacturing CDs. Bob has helped to demonstrate this with his HDTT mastering process, and the results prove that there's more - perhaps much more - to be extracted from the ordinary Compact Disc than anyone may have suspected. HDTT transfers sound significantly more alive, spatial, and pleasantly detailed - in other words, just plain more musical and enjoyable - than nearly all other Compact Discs - including SACDs - that I have heard. In short, one of the best things that's happened to the CD in a long time." - Peter Bizlewicz http://www.symposiumusa.com/products.shtml
The remastering process done by highdeftapetransfers.com is unparalleled in the industry. Using audiophile cables, the best remastering components and a modified/battery powered analog to digital converter, the remasters from reel-to-reel tape are simply the best I have heard, superior to other commercial remasters. This is an example of what can be accomplished in the recording chain when mods and audiophile equipment and cables are applied.Ultra-low jitter CD masters are produced which have clarity, focus and soundstage unlike any CD recordings you can buy commercially. Minimizing jitter in the digital signal is equally important in the mastering process and the play back process. The disk writer and writing process is also superior to commercially available CD's. Fabrication of commercial CD's results in significant jitter, where as writing CD-R's one at a time at low-speed with a high-quality,low jitter writer produces a superior copy. Experience the difference that low-jitter can make in your CD playback and take advantage of the wonderful music selections that highdeftapetransfers has to offer. Steve Nugent www.empiricalaudio.com
"We would like to use everything that is available, for demo purposes, these recordings sold quite a few high-end audio systems in our shops for real music lovers and musicians, they are much better than any sales guy, let the music speak for itself" - Ferenc Koscs http://www.penna-media.hu/poor/hifi/
Your CD's are marvelous! Although I am not a classical music connoisseur I think it is safe to say that these recordings are just great. Daniel Weiss Weiss Digital Audio www.weiss.ch
Thanks for the sampler which you, or somebody, slipped me at CES. The disc is fascinating and, while it retains the balances I am familiar with on the older LPs, the increase in clarity and detail is remarkable. I was especially impressed with the Strauss (Klemperer), Bach (Richter), Beethoven (Prohaska) and Wagner (Munch). Kal Rubinson "Music in the Round" www.stereophile.com
"Loved the tones, especially the string tones and highs. Violin and cello were particularly vivid and alive. I feel very strongly that your recordings exhibit outstanding transparency due to the fact that you burn the individual discs instead of stamping them." The ultimate in disc sonics can only be achieved when the disc played has been burned. Stamping is a cost effective but music destroying method of making a CD." Overall, I would rate your efforts as being very successful and kudos to you for going to the extra effort to individually burn each CD, an effort that must be expensive and time consuming. As for the $30 price tag, they are worth every penny of the asking price and more. Martin DeWulf www.boundforsound.com
These classical music CD's are the best 16 bit digital audio we have heard on our system. They are incredibly dynamic, open and transparent. They sound very close to our reference analog setup in tonality, especially the violin pieces. Musically the pieces are excellent interpretations, as good as or better than mainstream releases. We look forward to your future releases John Hughes www.vrsaudiosystems.com
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the amazing sampler disk you gave me at the CES. Some of the cuts have so much detail I could hardly believe I was listening to a CD. Also, the sound on the 50-year old Scherchen Scheherazade was truly remarkable. Again, thanks for the disk, which I listened to on a straight out-of-the-box Denon 2910 connected to a Dodson DAC. I can just image what the disk would sound like played through modified equipmentSaul Sokolsky www.theaudioenthusiast.com
I just purchased one of your sampler CDs and am thrilled with the results. I plan to share the CD at an upcoming HeadFi (audiophile) group meet here in Southern California.I want other audiophiles to know about your high quality product. Gregory Fortner California
