  • Quality of the recordings in the classical stream

    Since the switch to 192k, the clicks and pops in our catalog of classic vinyl recordings have become very annoying.
    We are able to fix this problem easily, but it will take some time. The Classical Channel has been filled with recordings from my personal collection, and these records are mainly original pressings from the 1930s onwards. (By the way, I have many CDs from the 80s that are no longer playable)
    These original vinyls were recorded with my project turntable and an Ortofon needle. We start re-recording them in the High End Audio Lab, washing them with a super expensive and aggressive cleaner and maybe even recording them with the fantastic high-end needle and Linn turntable, depending on the condition of the vinyl. At the top of our list, however, is filling up the main channel, which is pretty empty after the decision to broadcast in 192kHz.

  • Mother Earth Instrumental updated to Ultra-HD

    We warmly welcome Mother Earth Instrumental to the 192kHz family!
    We’ve upped the stream to 192kHz as the catalog of fresh vinyl recordings coming out of Christian Mayer’s Hi Res Audio Lab begins to grow. There are still some recordings in CD format and 96k files on the instrumental channel, but the proportion of genuine 192k files is now considerably high, so we have switched over. We hope you enjoy it!
    Mother Earth Radio has been broadcasting on 96k since February 2020, making it the world’s first free-to-air hi-res audio station. I give JB Radio credit, but couldn’t find the date they went on the air with 96k. If anyone finds this date, please let me know!
