Yes: 90125 | Paul - June 12, 2024

Yes, I have this SACD and you are correct, it does say that this was mastered from a 1/2” tape copy of the original master tape but that is incorrect and was an error made ...

Steely Dan: Aja | aubullience - August 25, 2024

A true sonic triumph and much better than the earlier Japanese SHM-SACD release of Aja, which was a rare SACD disappointment for me on the sonic side of things- I haven't ...

Yes: The Yes Album | analogue - June 7, 2024

I was really surprised by the sound quality of this sacd. I don't remember it sounding quite so pristine as what I heard while listening to this new sacd. Its highly crankable ...

801: 801 Live | Downunderman - August 23, 2024

Released April 28, 2024, as a single disc SACD hybrid in a card sleeve. A bit surprisingly for a Japanese SACD release the disc is made/glass mastered by Sony DADC in ...
