I possess over 450 SACDs, mainly classical, out of a total collection of more than 5000 compact discs. Also because I listen to a lot of experimental music not normally available in hi-res, I'm not loath to listening to RBCD, which sometimes are beyond decent soundwise (e.g. the Beatles mono-remasters, the Kraftwerk remasters, the Brian Eno 2004 DSD transfers or the Zappa 2012 DSD remasters). Although I'm not an orthodox vinyl-fetishist, I have a fair amount of vinyl (700+), also recent releases. In most cases, SACD is definitely better, but certainly not in all: e.g. Cisco's analogue remaster for vinyl of Steely Dan's "Aja" trumps the recent Japanese SHM-SACD version. Most often, vinyl is at any rate much preferable to RBCD, just because a lot of late 90s and 00s rock and pop cds tend to have heavily compressed DRs, which makes them near unlistenable. The vinyl counterparts are often (but not always) much better. | |

Works on vol. 2: A Symphony "New England Holidays" Three Places in NEw England Central Park in the Dark The Unanswered Question That leaves at least Symphonies 3 & 4, & the stupendous Robert Browning ... more | |

The Schubert Quartets will most likely be the Quartetto Italiano (above), which would be great (as I haven't got the Rosamunde on SACD and what better than the QT Italiano ?--there is a conspicuous lack of new hi-res recordings of Schubert's quartets!) ... more | |

Especially for Lute: The new Hagen Qt Mozart disc is now out exclusively in Japan, prior to international release (Germany & Austria in November, ROW in January). Unfortunately, the labelling on the back cover is wrong, they conflated the titles for the two works (will be corrected for the international release). Anyway, this disc should be ... more | |
