Yes, Kal. I did subscribe to Fanfare for awhile. In the early stages of building my SACD library, I combed through their online archives of SACDs and I did find a number of gems whose reviews I could cross check with sa-cd.net and other sources. And, there are a number of fine reviewers there. I was very happy with the results I achieved that way. But, it was a one-time thing.
I found Fanfare much less to my tastes and interests on an ongoing basis over time. So, I am a lapsed subscriber. Its coverage of SACD/hi Rez/Mch pales by comparison to sa-cd.net. And, the Fanfare reviewers have far less credibility on sonic issues, devoting even less attention to them than sa-cd.net reviewers, and usually stereo-only.
I must say, though, that your own occasional forays into recommended Mch discs have also been tremendously valuable to me. Keep up the very fine work! But, obviously, they are a drop in the bucket compared to sa-cd.net.
