No offense, but channels are misaligned on the AF SACD. It sounds smeared and out of balance (toward the left). I can’t recall how many samples it’s off (and that depends, of course, upon the sample rate you use for conversion) but it’s enough to be noticable.Agreed. Abbie Hoffman was never a spokesman for anyone I associated with.
I have the AF SACD, and although I can’t say they’re my favorite band, I like most of their music - enough to seek out that SACD.
If you convert it to PCM and realign, it’s noticeably tighter, better defined and centered.
