January 2, 201016 yr comment_311105 There's a big pissing match going on at SH's place about why the Blue Notes weren't remastered to SACD instead. Seems on casual observation that the most fanatical SACD partisans all seem to be Euros. Don't know why that is? Report
January 2, 201016 yr comment_311122 I just get both. From what little I've cared to read on the matter, some suggest that people thought Hoffman wasn't the right man for the job, as some of the AP sacds have a bit of haze or noise or whatever. Its a moot point, since every recording is different, and he's big on not altering the master tapes in anyway, whereas others may use noise reduction, or other things. The SH forum is the biggest bunch of goddamn pussies I've ever seen. They bitch if the barcode isnt in the proper place. Its fucking MUSIC. Thats why SACD isnt doing better than it is, these idiots cry foul when the ink toner isnt quite right. Just the stupidest, petty bullshit. You'd think people with $15,000 speakers wouldn't have a problem with $30 cds, but you'd be wrong Report
January 2, 201016 yr comment_311129 Seems on casual observation that the most fanatical SACD partisans all seem to be Euros. Being an SACD fanatical-boy, I have to weigh in on this matter. However, I have no idea. The best I can come up with is this: maybe those of us on this side of the pond are embarrassed to be siding with Sony, whereas Europeans don't have that problem. Report
