To stick with the example of Qobuz: of the 240,000 albums mentioned, it is highly likely that more than two-thirds to three-quarters are duplicates. In other words, the ...

I want to second aubullience's comment. This AP SACD of Aja absolutely trumps the Japanse 2010 edition, which I reviewed (as a user) for the old SA-CD.net site. This new ...

Coltrane '58: The Prestige Recordings | John Bacon-Shone - April 27, 2026
I am happy to see hires digital here, but mastering is crucial. Unfortunately, some remasters are much worse, so stating the date and source of the master is invaluable.

Comment by SACD-MAN (threerandot) - June 16, 2017 (1 of 1)
I am so happy to see the Steely Dan catalogue coming to SACD. I have the four released so far, but at this time, "Can't Buy A Thrill", "Katy Lied" and "The Royal Scam" have not yet been released. I don't expect them to stop there, so I do hope that these will become available in the not too distant future. Very warm and impressive sound on all of these SHM-SACD releases.
