In Reply to: RE: BIS SACD posted by Disbeliever on June 09, 2012 at 02:37:16
BIS has released a well over 100 sacd's. You've made a rather general comment on BIS sacd's. Perhaps you could be a little more specific as to which ones you are referring to.
BIS has been releasing sacd's for 10 years or so and they've all been recorded in 24 bit, other than a few early ones done in dsd, and they've all had the same theoretical dynamic range. Did it take you 10 years to write your post, or did you just come upon this more recently?
Also, why is it that you feel you need to constantly adjust the volume? The obvious assumption is that you find the loud parts too loud and you cannot hear the quiet passages, but is there something else to it for you.
Also, I have a large number of BIS sacd's and have no issue with the dynamic range once I properly adjust the volume at the beginning of the disc. I have found that I have increase the decibel level 2-4 dbs., in comparison to many other discs, to get the best sound. And in the odd instance when I have felt it necessary to make an adjustment I didn't get all bent out of shape like you apparently feel.

I have already posted several times the problem I find with all BIS SACD discs, I much prefer the way Channel Classics & others are recorded, I shall buy no more BIS discs.
Fair enough, then it is all, or is it just all that you own and have listened to. There is a difference!
BIS has chamber recordings, solo piano recordings, and others that are not likely to have the great dynamic range you are complaining about.
Nevertheless, why has it taken you 10 years or so to come to your assesment?
I'm not trying to upset your stubborn grumpy old bastardness, just trying find out which ones you find objectionable.Oh btw, I think you've made a great post praising the dynamic range of BIS sacd's!

I only have BIS orchestral recordings, to be sold off SAP and shall buy no more.
If they are as bad as you claim, then you should just give them to your local op shop. Selling them for money is a bit dishonest if you are truthful to your posting.
According to you they are OK . I am going to give them to a local Charity Shop.
Well, yes, I find them okay. Pity that it's not the same for you as I think there are many fine performances on BIS, especially recently.
