| the SHM CD Experience "Probably as long as dumb posts like yours are permitted. "what was so dumb about my posts? that I said due to super clear plastic (SHAM-CD) your cd player will be able to read 0,03% more bits or 1% more bits, and on high resolution recording (SAC... | |
| the SHM CD Experience SHM-CD = same mass market remaster, 16bit/44,1kHz CD, clearer plastic used zzZZZzzBlu-spec CD = same mass market remaster, 16/44,kHz CD, manufacturing process done with blu-laser (yawns..)I wonder how long they will have the nerve to sell the same... | |
| the SHM CD Experience I only hope that RBCDs meaning 16/44k only discs will die, and we finally get Hybrid SACDs with 16/44.1 layer compatible with cd players but also high resolution layer for those preferring hi-rez music (stereo and/or multichannel), that way everyb... | |
| the SHM CD Experience I don't think ALL people will switch to virtual downloads, personally I prefer physical product (with cover, booklet)to downloaded fileBTW CD sales dropped 20% in 2008, so it's definitely not a slow decline, I hope RBCD will die this year, eventua... | |
| the SHM CD Experience SACD hardware isn't selling? Today almost every player has SACD playback, Denon, Marantz, Pioneer, Esoteric, Luxman, Mark Levinson, Yamaha, Sony, Playback designs, McIntosh etc. all are SACD/CD players, IMHO SACDs are not so popular because only a... | |

| Modded SACD player: SACD or Redbook sound best?" I suggest you check at least one title, for example Stravinsky: The Firebird (Mercury Living Presence SACD)http://sa-cd.net/showtitle/1687 and then judge for yourself whether your red book CD improvements were worth the money, and how much truth t... | |
| How can you not have multichannel system I have stereo only SACD setup, but will probably try multichannel in the future... here's an interesting opinion from one of the users"After some critical listening, I concluded that good original DSD recording multi-channel SACDs are far better t... | |
| Blu-Spec CDs Kennyt,ok, but I wasn't talking about your playback equipment, but 2L recording equipment - they don't record in DSD128 or DSD64 so we really can't compare what these two formats are capable of, you can check how true SACD - pure DSD recording sou... | |
| Blu-Spec CDs sorry, my reply was to Kennyt.. | |
| Blu-Spec CDs Dweller,Correct me if I'm wrong but you can't compare DSD with PCM on 2L release as 2L doesn't use 1-bit recorders (DSD128 or DSD64) so you can't present the full potential and advantages of Direct Stream Digital over Pulse Code Modulation http://... | |
