Wagner: Das Rheingold - Solti | Athenaeus - February 5, 2023
Thank you, Mark! That's helpful. And reassuring, I guess, since we're simply dealing with lossless data compression here.
Wagner: Das Rheingold - Solti | Mark Werlin - February 5, 2023
Athaneus, I doubt there's anything wrong with the Wagner SACD. DYB reports that Disc 1 of the Universal Japan Decca SACD has an ISO size of only 1GB, vs. 3GB for the ISO of ...
Bruckner: Symphony No. 8 - Järvi | hiredfox - February 3, 2023
At last, completion of the survey which has been uniformly excellent, The 0 is also being released but for me it is not collectible for obvious reasons.
Ted Nugent: Free-for-all, Cat Scratch Fever | Downunderman - February 3, 2023
Released 2022. This is Free-For-all and Cat Scratch Fever combined on a single disc. Free-For-all has a Quadrophonic/Multi-Channel layer. Cat Scratch Fever is only in ...
Beethoven: Piano Sonatas 12, 22 & 23, Piano Concerto No. 1 - Richter / Munch | Athenaeus - February 5, 2023
The SACD fairy heard my prayer! She won't grant me exactly what I had asked for in my previous comment, but it will be something similar. Tower Records just announced they'll ...
Mozart: Piano Concertos 15 & 21 - Schmidt, Suitner | Athenaeus - February 5, 2023
Another interesting disc I never would have known about were it not for Tower Records' original series of SACDs (original, that is, to a North American record collector). The ...
Wagner: Das Rheingold - Solti | Mark Werlin - February 1, 2023
All of the SACDs in my collection are backed up to ISO files. The procedure I use creates an ISO file of the DSD layer only, not the CD layer (in the case of hybrid SACDs). ...
Wagner: Das Rheingold - Solti | diw - February 5, 2023
Why do you store your SACDs as ISO files rather than as a collection of .dsf files?

Accomplished 5.1 mix.

Much, much better fidelity than my CD, which I found to be compressed and muffled.
As an example, on "Chain" the bass solo is so clear you can hear the bass strings vibrate.
I highly recommend it over the CD version.

In a direct comparison with the 45 rpm, it seems like this might have been from the same master tape. However, I don't think every song is from the same master tape. In the 45 rpm, at the beginning of Gold Dust Woman, you hear people yelling - like audience members. In the SACD, you don't hear those sounds.
