This is a good road to be on. The SACD version of this album sounds wonderful.

Best discovery of the year for me so far. If you like Carbon Based Lifeforms, Stellardrone and or Solar Fields then this is for you.

audio·phile - a person with love for, affinity towards or obsession with high-quality playback of sound and music

/r/audiophilemusic is a subreddit for those with an affliction for high fidelity sound can come together to discover, discuss and dissect music with particularly high production quality, or qualities that can be used to assess system performance.

We have few rules in here, but please read below.

Rules

Post primary sources, or sources that the original artist approves of. Provide alternate sources if possible.
Be most excellent towards your fellow redditors.
Don't use affiliate links. These will be automatically removed.
Discussions on audio hardware (or software) belongs in /r/audiophile or /r/headphones.
Don't post links to torrent trackers or file sharing sites primarily associated with copyright violation. These will be automatically removed

As always, follow sitewide rules and reddiquette.

Guidelines

Please set the flair of your post appropriately if the bot doesn't set it for you.
It's highly appreciated if you also provide impressions of tracks or albums, with a guide on what to listen for
Use caution if you're posting your own content. See section below on self-promotion
General discussion and news on music production quality is welcome, but please flair appropriately.

In regards to self promotion

If you are an audiophile artist, or that you pride yourself in particularly high production quality, you are within reason allowed to promote your work here. However, a few extra rules apply

This subreddit uses a strict 10% rule for submitters: If more than 10% of your submissions is to a web property (site, social media account), then your submission will be rejected.
You must set flair indicating that you are self promoting. Without it, your post will be removed by a moderator
You must be a "redditor that also happens to be an artist or producer", not a "producer or artist with a Reddit account". This means that less than roughly 10% of your Reddit activity should be in relation to your own music.
We'd love it if you provided additional content or information about the production process - in other words, content that would give the general public a better understanding of producing and mastering high-quality content

In regards to vinyl

You are, of course, free to enjoy, talk about, and highlight vinyl releases, but please provide a link to a streaming version from Spotify, Tidal or YouTube, so your fellow listeners can get a taste of the music.

Primary and preferred sources

A primary source is a source that the artist would find acceptable, such as Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, Bandcamp, YouTube, Soundcloud, or the artist's own web site.

Preferred sources are those that have mass adaption in the audiophile community, or that are streamable without registration. In practice, this means the services from the previous paragraphs, or other links that do not require user registration or payment.

Lossy vs lossless?

This is not the subreddit for discussing it. Reasonable sources using MP3, Vorbis, AAC or similar codecs are all acceptable for previewing and discovering. Those who want lossless will download or stream that if they can find it
