RE: I have to disagree with you in part...

I agree. An album that is tracked at low fi rates and then mixed down poorly, it is hard for great mastering to save it.

If you gave KOB to 10 mastering engineers it would sound different from all of them, probably great, but still different. I love Steve Hoffman's work, Kevin Gray, and that of Sterling Sound. Then we add disc cutting for lps and another possible issue with pressing quality.

If the original tracking of an album is not at least 2496, regardless of the release format, to me it is hard to say that it can be hirez. I am not a fan of upsampling per se.

How the recording of the music starts is so important. I had said on another forum that I often think that the wrong people are in charge of the music business. Of course audiophiles are 1%, so it is not about us.
