Re: [newmellotrongroup] SACD or DVD-A

In your case Martin, it is exclusively Psycho.

I've heard guys do amazing things with 16/48 that blows away 24/96 or 24/192 and I've heard gobs and gobs of analog that is just music swimming in mud.? Go figure...I'll switch to 24 bit before I go to a higher sampling rate.

Mp3 really is awful though, even the higher bit rates

My flux capacitor needs a new Keeney valve.

That's interesting.? I have just received a copy of the remastered 
Tomita 'Snowflakes are Dancing' and it sounds extraordinary.? But is it 
because I've been told it will?? Sometimes John and myself get 
over-sensitised to a particular recording, be it pitch, timbre or some other 
effect.? You have to walk away and return again another day and 
the?problem has gone.? I like MiniDisc.? It sounds amazing to me, 
especially?at mitigating overly fussy CD sound where it seems to balance 
out the inherent problems I hear.? I suspect it is psycho acoustic effect 
but I don't care - it works!? I mistrust mp3 and have several decidedly 
dodgy recordings in this format.? This may also be psycho acoustic but I 
suspect it actually is a crap format.
