      Solo Saxophone

      By clifford_thornton · Posted

      Here you go: https://www.discogs.com/label/26613-Ducretet-Thomson?page=1 Ducretet was a scientific instrumentation company (responsible for early phonographs) and eventually partnered with Thomson, a large French communications corporation tied to GE. It appears to me that Ducretet Thomson, Selmer, and Pathé were partnered in the production of phonograph discs. The Selmer version of this 78 is very cool-looking!

      Of course. And according to Discogs the Selmer RECORD label was related to Ducretet Thomson (distribution? Some other Selmer 78s had identical catalog numbers on both Selmer and Ducretet Thomson). And the same source says the Hawk Variations record was presed by Pathé Marconi.

      Amazon CDs Which Are Actually CDRs

      By jazzbo · Posted

      I'm NOT actually only talking about SACD discs. My SACD holding is less than 1 percent of my collection, and I predominantly listen to Redbook and LPs. My main playback system for digital though does utilize DSD format as the final stage, rather than PCM. I don't feel I'm confused, sorry. Perhaps I am not explaining things as well as I could, I have been building audio systems for nearly fifty years and have accumulated some knowledge and experience but I'm not an engineer nor a professional reviewer. I do understand that cds are "dying or dead," and that various non-physical formats are filling the void. It just doesn't matter to me especially as the sound is different, and in my opinion and to my tastes in my systems not in a better way. And I have more cds than I need and can still find what I want on cd. If others listen to non-physical media, that's great.  Please PM me going forward if needed.
