Yes: 90125 | Paul - June 9, 2024

Sorry, you are incorrect about this being sourced from a tape copy… I emailed Kevin Gray, he was the one that performed the mastering on this SACD release, and he told me ...

801: 801 Live | Downunderman - August 23, 2024

Released April 28, 2024, as a single disc SACD hybrid in a card sleeve. A bit surprisingly for a Japanese SACD release the disc is made/glass mastered by Sony DADC in ...

Kip Hanrahan: Vertical's Currency | Downunderman - June 26, 2024

Kip Hanrahan's work is quite idiosyncratic. Described variously as Afro-Cuban Jazz, Fusion and Latin Jazz but somehow those descriptions don't quite cover the overall vibe of ...

Stravinsky: Symphonies - Slobodeniouk | Graham Williams - September 10, 2024

Yes, I have this SACD and you are correct, it does say that this was mastered from a 1/2” tape copy of the original master tape but that is incorrect and was an error made ...

Yes: The Yes Album | aubullience - August 25, 2024

Both the SACD and 45 rpm releases of this album by AP are the hands-down winners in their respective (hi-res and analog) formats.

Paul Simon: There Goes Rhymin' Simon | EugenF - September 10, 2024

On the disc it is written: Made in Austria. On the cover it is written: disc made in Germany. Where is the true?

Van Halen: Van Halen | aubullience - August 25, 2024

I can't say it better than Downunderman did. IMO his characterization of it is accurate in all respects. And oh yes, misspent youth!
