From Solla Thudikkuthu Manasu (LP). Another beauty from Maestro. This specific one I was astonished to note the LEFT channel is completely missing in the CD version. Please check this link(https://soundcloud.com/raja4ever/dsd-thaenmozhiendhan-sample). You simply don't know what you have missed until you hear the track in the way it was recorded. Notice the "Tambourine" instrument is totally missing on the LEFT channel in the CD version. Also, the CD version looks like it was EQ-ed to mask the missing left track. Another beauty is usage of Tabala and Dholak combo in the first part of the music and Mirudhangam and Tabala combo in the second part of the music. Its simply mesmerizing the way Maestro came up with the orchestration for this track. Please note these are sample test recordings done to check the analog setup. Recorded at 24/192khz

Presenting painstakingly cleaned and recorded from LP Oh Maanae Maanae. The LP condition is not so great. However,  the quality of the recording on this LP is exceptional.  One can just imagine the sound quality of the original SpoolTape . The kick drums sound very deep and have weight to the sound. The Guitar tones can be heard very clearly and the instrument separation is very obvious.  Using a good quality headphones, you can hear the microdetails of the instruments. The Bass line is something you cannot miss. Recording directly as DSD onto a computer takes enormous processing power. Recorded at 1-Bit/5.6mhz DSD

Eera Vizhi Kaviyangal(ACD); Rare song from this album. Although not a good quality recording, you could still hear the instruments clearly. Also, this track was added as a bonus one when it was reissued. In the process of upgrading MASTER CLOCK which should achieve another level of sonic quality. It will be interesting to upsample this album once that becomes available. Will let you all know when that happens. Upsampled to 1-bit/11.2khz DSD

Greetings everyone! Its been a while since there has been any update done to this SoundCloud page.  This due to the lack of time on my part and also that there are official online sites where you can get tracks legally and with reasonable quality.  Due to these reasons, unfortunately I will not be uploading any more songs and eventually I plan to shutdown this channel. I want to personally thank everyone of you for the support that you have provided all these years and I hope you had wonderful  time and experience listening to these tracks in highest quality possible. Again, Thank you and wish you all the very best!
...
To highlight the hidden gems in Maestro Ilaiyaraaja's music by trying to provide it its purest form (in highest resolution and transparent form without any digital coloration or alteration) for maximum listening pleasure.

The initial goal was to surpass the quality of the original master sources. There is no way to measure this since no one has access to the original sources. The next phase in my goal will be achieve the following:

1. Be able to follow any instruments throughout the song (if its recorded) clearly. 2. Be able to effortlessly hear the layering in the song (like Vocals in the front row, instruments in the next row, percussions on the side and so on) if its recorded with that intent. The layering should reflect the way a particular song is recorded.
3. Be able to listen to any instrument in its original tone (timbre).
Trying achieve the above is not easy. It will take time and effort to get to that level. 

...where sire Raaja's music continues to provide eternal happiness...
