Steely Dan: Katy Lied | Scott A. - April 13, 2025

I was well pleased with Analogue Productions' versions of "Pretzel Logic" and "Can't Buy A Thrill," but this one sounded flat to me. I'm no sound expert, and maybe the CD ...

Puccini: Madama Butterfly - Karajan | John Broggio - July 12, 2025

Puccini: Madama Butterfly - Karajan | hiredfox - July 13, 2025

Puccini: Madama Butterfly - Karajan | David Snyder - July 10, 2025

Miles Davis: Kind of Blue | Gilles Daugenet - April 19, 2025

Hello everyone, After carefully listening to the Mobile Fidelity UDSACD2085 SACD and the Japanese SMEJ SICP-10083 SACD, it's difficult to say which is superior to the other. ...
