some one that had try some music from https://www.analogarts.net

any comments?

for example is the quality better than those from hdtracks or any difference betwen the reel to reel , vinyl and digital, etc

Firstly, I doubt there is much recorded after the late 80s that is on analogue tape. So you are going to be looking at old music, not current.

I spent some time restoring old tape in another life. The binder that holds the ferric oxide onto the tape deteriorates with age and about the only way to play old tape without wiping off the oxide is to bake the tape first. This fixes the ferric oxide, but only temporarily - you get a few plays after baking, but then the tape deteroriates rapidly.

Those old analogue 1/4" masters are the crown jewels of the record companies, and no one is gong to get access to them. EMI aren't going to be lending the master of 'Yesterday' to anyone.

What you might get if you are lucky, is a second or third generation copy. Frankly, if I were running EMI, I wouldn't even allow a fourth generation copy to leave the building. There is a whole future stream of revenue for EMI by going back to the master (even if a copy) and selling the same music in yet another format. Why give that away?

So my guess is that this will remain a niche of a niche, with very limited choice of music.

As for quality, if done correctly, there should be no real difference in an analogue copy or digital copy of whatever the source was. If anything, the digital copy should be better.

they should remaster all the 1/4" masters and first masters to digital 16 bit 44
I imagine that was done for first generation CDs. Since then, anything worth the bother has been remastered to higher resolutions or various proprietary 'one bit' varieties.

For something slightly different, have you seen this?
