Re: PCM is dead-CM. Very dead-CM (NT)

I have only compared the HD DSD stereo programme with the 1979 Stereo MFSL Half Speed Master Lp.
and, have not compared the SACD version with the 1994 PCM remaster RBCD nor original PCM master for RBCD..
So I cannot make any comparisons here with the previous CD releases nor surround vs. quad mix.

There is a bit of controversy out there regarding the source of the stereo program... many people have reported that there is little difference between the earlier CD, and many have not acknowledged which previous version they have compared it to.

My question is Did the stereo HD and CD layer programmes originate from the original analog stereo master or from one of the PCM masters

At worst they have sourced it from the first 80s PCM master
At best it may have been sourced from the 1994 PCM remaster
Ideally it did come from the original analog master

If the stereo program was only a "DSD remaster" from the original analog master i gather unlike the surround mix: PCM would not have been involved.....is this true Frank?
It appears you know more about the actual mastering then I
Seriously I would like your thoughts on this.....
