@andybob @Ernesto_Del_Aguila @Rugby @AceRimmer - A good number of albums there that feature in my very long top 10 for 2024. Currently my top 10 consists of over 30 albums :man_facepalming::man_shrugging:, so I changed it up to top 100.

@Dan_Sullivan - I’ll check your selections out as I’m not to familiar with them, nor do I think available on Qobuz

Haha so much good music came out this year. A top 50 might be easier

except for Presti & Lagoya, they are on Quobuz

Also Babs album is Bon Soir, not Non Soir

An Idi Presti alternative that is on Quobuz

Ida Presti & Alexandre Lagoya: Classical Music For Two Guitars (2024 Remastered

Listen to the Albinoni, track 2

Also this counts for a 2024 release :grinning:

My Qobuz doesnt seem to have that one, but I do have others, including The Complete Philips Recordings a 3 CD compilation which is sounding very good. Albinoni is first track on that and whoever is playing the ‘lead’ has exquisite finger tremelo. Also, apropos of very little, Albinoni was a lawyer, which just goes to show how few musicians are …

The Albinoni is on track 1 of the version you found.

Ah, found it. It was hiding under ‘More from Ida Presti’ for some reason. Ida died at age 42, sad.

Great chat again gents thoroughly enjoyed it and now have a greater appreciation for

  • the complexities of setting up a vinyl system
  • the complexities of setting up HQP with DAC correction
  • Ireland’s relatively inexpensive red onions.
