You have your opinion, but your second paragraph is

But since you consider my truthful opinion -- based on careful examination and comparison with alternative versions, I should add -- condescending and nonsensical, why don't you provide the proof to contradict what you ask of bublitchki?As with so many others that frequent forums, you choose simply to attack without any basis for doing so. My assumption is that, given a handle like yours anyway, that your goal in life is to thread crap and nothing more.
The truth is that you have been bad-mouthing the decision to offer a three-channel stereo layer on both the Mercury and RCA SACDs since long before they had even been transferred. I knew many months ago that you would be highly critical of the SACD releases if for no other reason than that you did not get your way. Your hatred of multi-channel has tainted all your opinions.You made the reckless charge in your post above, in case you have forgotten, that the most junior underling was assigned transfer duties and that not a thought was given to the playback machine. You're going to have to supply evidence of this. It's not for me to prove the falsity of your charge.
Sorry to break the news to you, sgb, but not everyone in professional audio is incompetent, and not everyone who disagrees with your golden ears is inexperienced and careless.
a Multi-channel segment, nor do I have ax to grind with those who prefer them. I choose to remain a two channel listener for a variety of reasons, none of which are germane to your charges.Since I have never even listened the multi-channel data on these, even though I would have the opportunity to do so, my comments were restricted to their stereo-only segments, and my opinions of the RCA releases still stand. Those opinions, BTW, are shared by a number of local audiophiles, all of whom have heard the RCA releases here in Louisiana at several different audiophiles' homes — not just mine.
My comments on the Mercury releases (as few of them as there have been here at AA) have all, quite to the contrary of what you claim, been quite positive. I've even put my 2¢ in on them over at Stephen's site (see link).
Even you cannot support your asinine charge that no thought was given to the playback machine and that junior underlings were in charge.Nice try, though, to switch the argument to whether you personally like the results. That falls into the OPINION category, and you are welcome to whatever OPINION you choose to have.
