Stravinsky: Firebird, Le Chant du Rossignol - Levi      (1 of 3 found this review helpful)
  June 14, 2007

Hi, they have issued an SACD that is not OK. All layers seem to have a 100Hz low pass filter applied!!! I'm expecting to get a new version of this SACD but take care not to buy these records before they have been replaced with fully functional ones w/o the filter. Is there no quality control ... ... more

Ok, I understand many people don't consider this kind of easy listening jazz worth listening ... and I think I had the same predudice when listening to this record for the first time. But the skill of the musicians is so very high and the performance is so relaxed that sometimes I really want to ... more

Yes, this is a excellent R&B album from Opus3. The style is, however, very original because all instruments are not really typical for this kind of music (from USA). I further like the excellent style how Peder af Ugglas handles guitar on this SACD. This possibly is the best blues record I have ... more
Mattias Wager - Organ Treasures      (1 of 1 found this review helpful)

This is a very good recording and it clearly demontrates the benefits of multichannel reproduction. Opus3 has, again, captured the ambience in this church with great skill. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor belong to the organ music that we should all know even if if were not really into this ... more

This is a multichannel record for purists. They claim have recorded the material using Blumlein stereo microphone + a separate microphone for bass. Everything is done analog using tube amplification and mixing. But the rear channel information must have been extracted from the original stereo with ... more

RELAUNCH SACD
July 2, 2008
Hi, BluRay Audio discs will be returned to the seller if there is no simultaneous video content with audio. BluRay Audio discs will be confused with the actual BluRay discs ... not with CDs ever. My guess is that this kind of discs will not be distributed widely but they will be sold in the same specialist shops that sell other marginal discs ... more
RELAUNCH SACD
June 28, 2008
Eh ... what is the future of a video-less video disc ... weather it was DVD-A or BluRay Audio???? You seem to know a bit more than the rest of us ... so what is your strategy at Sony? SADC multichannel seems to sell pretty well as a carrier of classical music ... but do you see a future for providing with "classical music live concerts" like ... more
The importance of multichannel SACDs for the SACD format
May 11, 2008
Hi, some people in this discussion forum don't understand the importance of SACD multichannel playback. Actually, I believe that this format would be dead like DVD-A if we did not have all the multichannel classical music in SACD format. This really is a life and death question for SACD. Lately I have tried to poll the opinions with two emails ... more
How many of us are using an SPL meter to tweak our Surround Systems?
April 14, 2008
Hi, Yes, I'm also using an SPL meter and I usually set the rear channels about 2dB lower than the main channels. Just seems to work well that way. There did you get those Pentatone setup tracks? Esa ... more
How many of us are listening strictly to stereo SACD only?
April 13, 2008
Hi, this is question for those who think that multichannel has no benefits over stereo playback. best regards Esa ... more
