OK, so after looking at the ad, I wonder. Is this basically a very expensive re-issue like MFSL ultradisks? Where do they get the music files they dub to the CD? Do they have a license from the artist and company that put out the original. Who would pay $1K for a CD and SACD "demo disk"? Are they outta their &!@#$-in' minds? Are we?
Extreme hardglass CD
Hi, have you seen the advertisement for an extreme hardglass CD? You can be the owner of it for just $1,000. No kidding! I wonder why spending that much money into a "flawed" carrier (the "perfect sound forever" red book silver disc we all know) for perhaps 5% overall improvement in sound, while you can get a 30% improvement by doing the recording or remastering job in the right way (which is certainly not the case in many CD releases)? But I assume there will be people who will buy the disc (there are many rich audiophiles around you know). At least they will hear the famous Herbert von Karajan DGG recording of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony in glorious sound!
Btw, has any of you heard an extreme hardglass CD? If you have, please give us your impressions of the sound.
