Thanks for this, LPM and also thanks for starting the "redbook revolution"
...if you know what I mean :?)
"Won't you bury me with my chaps on
And my six-gun strapped to my side
So I can watch the moon a hidin'
In the desert sky"
this opportunity to tell you how much I enjoy the quality of all your LP rips.
What is especially amazing is how smooth they sound throughout the entire range
of the discs. No groove-end distortions, a tribute to your tonearm, cartridge
and the precision with which they are aligned. Thank you and please continue to
produce these quality rips!
There are many technical terms I am not familiar with, so would you/anybody please enlighten me and tell me what "24-bit/96kHz resampled and dithered to redbook" precisely means? Are the files now in 24-bit - 192kHz? Is that standard CD? Or am I talking totally b*llocks?!?
Cheers!
Not bullocks at all. Basically, the original vinyl is transferred at 24-bit/96kHz or 24-bit/192kHz. Subsequently it is dithered (see Wikipedia for the term) and digitally converted to 16-bit/44.1kHz, which is the standard for redbook recording (see Wikipedia for this term).
This permits a better-sounding transfer of the music, as opposed to recording the LP directly to redbook bitrate, by preserving the high quality of sound. The dithering process allows conversion to the lower bitrate for a more fluid sound, given the de-clicking and possible noise reduction of the "raw" transfer. The end result is the ability to burn the album directly to CD with little to no loss of the sound quality afforded by the equipment and software of the producer of these burns.
Conversely, albums ripped at 24-bit/96kHz and not "down-sampled" to redbook can only be burned to DVD with special software or stored on a hard drive and played on a computer. Each end result of a vinyl transfer has its proponents, and if you've scanned the posts and responses in the Avax audiophile section, you'll notice some discussions of the subject can become quite nasty. In my very humble opinion, the quality of the final rip is determined by the equipment and skills of the ripper, not the resulting bitrate.
I hope this helps. A Google search will reward you with much better and, no doubt, more informed explanations than mine.
Love this album
Thank you!
