Wagner: The Golden Ring - Solti | Aastroem - November 23, 2022

I found this text on another site and the writer is anonymous: "This release has the highest compression so far. The waveform shows definite clipping and horns are very harsh. ...

Bill Evans: You Must Believe in Spring | Mark Werlin - November 5, 2022

Today I ordered the Bill Evans SACD and Art Pepper: Art Pepper+Eleven from Craft's US site. I'll review both SACDs when I've had a chance to listen to ...

Toto: Toto IV - 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition | Downunderman - November 19, 2022

Is it a curate's egg or a Faberge egg? Probably a bit of both! It uses the 2002 DSD master for the SACD components (Stereo & multi-channel) and the 2018 remaster for the CD ...

Athenaeus: It's not a lack of time, or unwillingness by the site admins. Octave only sells SACDs directly from their website, so they don't assign a UPC/EAN number to their ...

Strauss: Eine Alpensinfonie - Jurowski | Athenaeus - November 21, 2022

Have there been any developments concerning this alleged problem at Sonopress? I haven't noticed a decrease since February in the number of new hybrid SACD releases.

Pink Floyd: Animals (2018 remix) | Downunderman - November 10, 2022

I echo Brian's comments. This was (and remains) a dense recording and the new stereo mix by James Guthrie has been handled in such a way that the sonic character of the ...
