Free from Linn Audio - Classical Music Sampler - 24-bit audio download

I'm a big fan of High Def music, 24bits is so nice.
two years ago I gave up on my meridian hifi at home due to lack of use and went high def mobile with Astell and Kern , never looked back.

its good Linn are pushing out this stuff.
my fave high def stuff at the mo, MJ-Thriller, Dire Straits, Tears for Fears and Floyd
 
Thanks Raph. I don't have a decent set up running now, but I was interested in the mid 70s-90s (still have an old A&R A60 amp and a pair of Celef Monitors that I must get going again). It has always intrigued me that some years ago we got to the position of reasonably high quality on CDs and then took, to my mind, a backwards step with the compressed MP3 format.

yes the 16bit 44khz standard was a bit rushed and restricted at the time to manufacturing limits I believe, it was classed as red book standard.
CD is still pretty good given its age. Linn have been very progressive with digital audio and don't even make CD players anymore.
 
I think my PC has a 24 bit soundcard but I'm sure I've never used them all.

I'll download the studio version later and give it a whirl, cheers.
 
Sounds good but is anyone else hearing hissing all the way through song 3?

:thinking:

I also have a old A&R A60 amp but with old Linn speakers instead of Celef Monitors. Mind you, I think that I need to give the amp a service before I switch it on again - something must be wearing out in that old amp.

I generally listen with headphones and I can't say that I hear any 'special' level of hiss other than what you would expect from mics on a piano. I wonder what that could be.
