"Dither" is intentional noise which is added so as to randomise the quantisation errors (rounding errors) that occur when downsampling the Bit Depth of an audio stream to a lower resolution than the current format...
Rectangle dither produces very small amounts of randomization (in the order of +/- 1 bit). The distribution is such that the "dither noise" is approximately white noise.
Triangle dither produces a similar peak amplitude of noise as Rectangle, but the noise is shaped so that more of the noise occurs at very high frequencies where it is less noticeable.
Shaped dither has a higher peak amplitude than either Rectangle or Triangle, but the frequency content of the noise is shifted more into the very high frequency range where it is less intrusive...

Nunca ha terminado de convencerme a pesar de ser tan afamado, pero ahí lo tenéis. El que más me gusta de Mike Oldfield es Five Miles Out, que recuerdo un día llevé -siendo alumno- a clase de dibujo técnico en BUP/COU, en cinta de cassette, y lo estuvimos escuchando. En los discos duros tengo un buen ripeo del disco.

Un clásico imprescindible. Suena muy bien. Lo guardaré a 16/48 con dither triangular.

Tengo casi toda la discografía de Mike Olffield en cinta, vinilo (aunque no suelo tener las versiones especiales), CD y HDCD (mejor las CD que las HDCD que suenan más fuertes pero por regla general más comprimdas). El album Five Miles Out en vinilo (al menos la edición que yo tengo) tiene una toma de sonido buena. El que tiene probablemente mejor toma (o una de las mejores) es el Tubular Bells II (sobre todo en CD aunque depende del tema). Otra cuestión diferente son las grabaciones posteriores al 90 en CD cada vez más comprimidas, aunque hay excepciones como el comentado Tubullar Bells II del 1992..........
El que tiene una toma de sonido horrorosa en CD es el Tubullar Bells III
En cuanto a "calidad musical" (siempre subjetiva) a mi el Tubullar Bell original me parece uno de sus mejores trabajos, probablemente junto al "Platinum" y "The Complete" (cuyos arreglos de los temas de otros trabajos me parecen fantásticos). "Five Miles Out" también me parece un album bastante bueno.
Un saludete
P.D.: Me he bajado de Avaxhome infinidad de trabajos que provienen del vinilo de toda clase de música y sinceramente las ediciones en CD (sobretodo si son anteriores al 90) suelen estar "de media" mejor grabadas.

Y hace muy poco, me hice con el Islands, pero en gramaje normal, y aún no he podido escucharlo.
El resto de los que tengo, es en cd. Llevas razón con el TB II, lo compré en el 92 cuando salió, y el sonido es bueno, mi decepción vino por el hecho de que es puro calco del primero, y es que salvo el coro de la policía norteamericana y poco más, es lo mismo, sólo que 20 años después.
Un saludo.
Ever the experimentalist, in an age when experimentalism didn't always get you the best jobs, Barry came up with this amazing soundtrack to the tense '65 spy thriller 'The Ipcress File' starring Michael Caine. Resolving around a single theme, repeated but appearing in several different styles from jazz to atmospheric, and using the then relatively unknown in the west instrument the 'Cimbalom', a kind of miniature piano-cum-dulcimer using a 'hammered' string exciter that made a startlingly sharp ringing sound, more bell-like than string-like. Perfectly suited to the film. It was close-miked and dead central so it really gets noticed! This instrument produces a sound so sharp that it plays havoc with badly tuned stylii so it was with great pleasure that I managed to get this under my very nimble Lyra Helikon catridge just as it was broken in. The sound is incredible given the vintage of the recording and the early '65 pressing.
Tupelo Honey is the fifth solo album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. It was released in October 1971 by Warner Bros. Records. Morrison had written all of the songs on the album in Woodstock, New York before his move to Marin County, California, except for "You're My Woman", which he wrote during the recording sessions. Recording began at the beginning of the second quarter of 1971 at the Wally Heider Studios, San Francisco. Morrison moved to the Columbia Studios in May 1971 to complete the album...
Court and Spark is the sixth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. Released in January 1974, the album saw Mitchell infusing her folk-rock style, which she developed throughout her previous five albums, with jazz inflections. A very accessible and commercially-appealing album, Court and Spark was Mitchell's commercial and popular triumph — it wasn't only praised by critics (as were all of her albums of the 1970s) but was also received very warmly by the public, becoming her most successful album. It reached #2 in the United States and #1 in Canada and eventually received a Double Platinum certification by the RIAA, the highest during Mitchell's career. In 2003 it was listed at #111 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time...
The 60's saw Canada produce some significant names in folk/rock music; Neil Young, The Band, The Guess Who and Rush to name a few; but if all that came from Canada was Joni Mitchell, that would be enough. Joni is one of the most influential folk and popular music singer songwriters of the 20th century. And if you could only have one of her albums, this is the one to have. Of course, guest musicians like Steven Stills and James Taylor don't hurt. As the accompanying review by Michael Fremer (Vinyl Mavin) point out, the original was a fine release, but this 180g Rhino re-issue, mastered from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman, is just a cut above...
Where Are You? is an 1957 album by Frank Sinatra. This is the first album Sinatra recorded at Capitol without Nelson Riddle. It was the first album he recorded with conductor and arranger Gordon Genkins. It was also the first he recorded in stereo. It would later be re-issued under the name The Night We Called It a Day...
...this is one of the times when it would be best to spend the dough and add this one to your collection, because blues records seldom come as important, innovative, or just plain pleasurable to listen to as this set. File under "essential.
Hampton Hawes' super rare solo 1968 classic long out-of-print LP that inexplicably never made it to CD. Although it does not say it anywhere on this LP (originally recorded in Japan for RCA), the "challenge" was that this was Hampton Hawes' first set of unaccompanied piano solos. Although based in bop, Hawes was always much more than a one-handed pianist, and he proves up to the challenge. The repertoire includes jazz standards, three originals, and the current pop tune "Who Can I Turn To." Throughout the date, the pianist shows that he could create stirring music without the assistance of a rhythm section. Unfortunately, this music (last put out on a Storyville LP) has yet to be reissued on CD...
