Re: Re-thinking the system

Hi Jazz,

You read my comments right. Here's what came to my mind--and since
I'm neither a recording engineer nor an acoustician, it's FWIW
speculation:

The lenses in my setup primarily affected image specificity,
palpability, and location. I suspect that conventional CD brick-wall
filtering and associated glare and grunge affect not only the quality
of what we hear, but also the (virtual) physical portrayal we
perceive. Substitute the essentially non-brickwalled bandwidth
characteristic of CD, and you allow instruments and voices to
"break out" of the Red Book cocoon...and in doing so, put them in
proper spatial and three-dimensional as well as tonal perspective.

Whatever the explanation, imaging, etc., snapped into focus in SACD.
