Brad Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Acoustic Sounds is releasing A Love Supreme on 45 RPM on UHQR. See https://store.acousticsounds.com/d/175752 A little pricey at 150 and hard to figure as it’s also been released by AS on their Acoustic Sounds series for 39.

Pim Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Question is: that slightest bit of difference, if you hear it at all, is that worth a 110 dollars 🤔 those AS sound amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 I usually don't mind the 45rpm reissues, I have a few of the Blue Note Music Matters that sound great, but I'm not sure I want to break up the continuity of the music on this album anymore than just the once on a 33rpm LPs I have (two different pressings). Or not at all, as on my CD. That said, I'd love to hear what this sounds like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever diminishing returns. But there must be a market for it. Otherwise, they wouldn't make it. For "well heeled" audiophiles and jazz lovers, I guess.

Rabshakeh Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 I read somewhere that there were versions of Ascension released for Jukebox. How to clear out a pub in three seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rostasi Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) I understand that there's an "UltraReality" version of "A Love Supreme" that arrives in the mail as an AI-based hologram with a small-box setup. All you have to provide is a stage for the musicians to play on and you'll have the "studio" recording right there for you to enjoy! Unfortunately, it may still not be "real" enough because you forgot to use your Debrox® Earwax cleaning kit as thoroughly as you should've.

For instance, high-end bicycles have become absolutely ridiculous. Every mfr. seems to have a $15,000 (or more) flagship model, and $500 seems to be the number for high-zoot handlebars, or shoes, or saddle, or helmet, or "oversized pulley wheels", ... And you're hopeless without hydraulic disc brakes and electronic shifting! Rim brakes and mechanical shifting are practically extinct. 🤣 I used to play hockey, and same deal. I recently noticed to my astonishment that high-end pro hockey skates top out around a grand. 🤔 Edited August 4, 2023 by T.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted August 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 I purchased the UHQR for KOB. It sounded very good but was it that much better than the MoFi I had and later sold. No, I can’t say it was. On the other hand, the Craft Records Small Batch of Eastern Sounds is amazing and was worth it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's somewhat risible that all these megabuck "Audiophile" releases seem to be targeted at aging boomers with deteriorating hearing...but they sure got disposable income!

Judging from age-group sports, there are plenty of folks who, via juicing with HGH, other hormones and God knows what else, think they are holding the aging process at bay. 🤔 Edited August 5, 2023 by T.D.
