. . . (and this is a little off the subject), but there was a reference on SA-CD.net to your post of the spectrograph of the final track of the new 24/96 Callas "Tosca" reissue (the stereo version with Pretre, not the mono with De Sabata). When I looked at it, I was amazed to see what seemed to be musical signal out above 40KHz. Since this recording was early sixties vintage, I thought that was kind of astonishing, given what I thought I knew about the frequency-response capabilities of microphones and tape formulations available at that time. Have you seen any comments from the EMI/Warner engineers about this?

...it was the 1953 mono recording with De Sabata! I agree--it was amazing to see *anything* above 15kHz, let alone out to 40! It does sound quite good, though, and better than I was expecting. As far as I know, Warner/EMI hasn't commented on it, but they've out out a promo video about the project that's interesting (link below).
I just glanced through that thread on SA-CD.net and saw the reference to my Computer Audiophile post. (I've been avoiding SA-CD.net because I don't want to get embroiled in all that contentious discussion--I'm sure you understand. ;-) ) If you see anything else that they've said about the graphs I posted, please let me know!

BTW, the download of the Jarvi 'Nutcracker' took over 2 hours (for a 1.4GB file). Guess they haven't upgraded their servers..... ;-( Great performance and sound, though!
BTW, I got (and still have) a 24-bit copy of the earlier remastering (can't remember if the sampling rate was 44.1 or 48).
