I have both the Japanese UCGQ-9014 SHM-SACD in mostly stereo and the Platinum SHM-CD in mono, which is also oop. CD Obi states 2012 192 kHz/ 24 bit. It‘s harder to tell on ...

The irony is that DSD256 is very much like analogue on play back and probably yields better results that using ageing analog tapes. It also explains why MoFi has continued to ...

There does not appear to be any conversion to PCM in the mastering of MoFi LPs. Once the MoFi engineers have done analogue-to-DSD transfers, the rest of the LP mastering ...

Clearly Sam Cooke’s most intimate, most soulful and ultimately most real recording. This one has the feel of a private performance captured after hours when the audience had gone home and the singer was singing purely for the love of his songs. The performance put forth is simply straight from Cooke’s soul. His selection of songs include spiritual, bluesy ballads and gospel classics. Cooke owns these songs, making each interpretation all his own. This is warm music that’s easy to connect with. Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound from the original three-track masters. The SACD includes all three channels!
Originally released in 1963.

The 3 channels used to record this are put to perfect use. Generally, Sam's voice is perfectly centered. On the left we have the piano/keyboard, and on the right we have the drums and electric guitar. As for the sound, there is no tape hiss, but yet the higher frequencies don't seem to be impaired. The loudness is nicely balanced between the instruments and the singer. Sam's voice is rendered flawlessly, as are all of the instruments. This is nearly a perfect album with nearly perfect sound.
This is an audiophile delight. Get it.
