Listening to Now In SACD Stereo (or Mono)

[marpow]

I have mixed emotions on this Japanese SACD release. I love the music, big fan of Yes with Trevor Rabin, my favorite Yes.
The bottom end sounds really good on this but the top end a little bright and harsh. I wouldn't be suprised at all if the 1990 RBCD does not sound better?

I received my even numbered shipment of discs today from DV. Although it deviated from GOS's Law, there was only one cracked disc case. As it turns out the Dutton Epoch CD sampler took one for the team LOL, leaving the 5 others SACDs in pristine condition. The CD itself was actually fine but there was a two inch crack in the case. Next step, ripping the iso and DSD files.

Mono Hybrid SACD. I am not a big Frank Sinatra fan, but noticed this release and thought I would give a listen to the old crooner himself.

NOT an Ole Blue Eyes Fanboy, Markie? Frankie learned his impeccable phrasing from Tommy Dorsey's Trumpet playing. Should have my copy this week from elusive disc.

My father absolutely loved anything with/by Frank Sinatra, my mother absolutely hated anything with/by Frank Sinatra!

So Dunc, did you take after your father or your mother?

Listening now to this mono Fank Sinatra from 1950. Ralphie you are going to love it, I even like it, sounds absolutely perfect, clear as a bell. Track 14 is incredible, you are live in the recording studio, talk about audiophiles, engineers and Frank saying, move a smidge there, closer, just Like I do with my own speakers and there doing it with a full orchestra and band.
Fantastic liner notes, how the got the tapes, etc.
I did not know that Sony Music in Boyers, Pennsylvania, had a storage vault carved in limestone 220' below ground are nearly 2 million sound and video recordings owned by Sony.
Too bad Universal didn't have the same forsight instead of a wooden barn.

Neither, I'm neither for nor against, I'm my way!

I've had four copies: LP, CD, MoFi Gold CD and Japan SHM-SACD. SACD is markedly better than even the Gold.

Musically a spectacular album

played Beethoven sonatas by Glenn Gould on Japan SACD
