Re: The point I tried to make, but apparently without success...

"What Fremer did -- and deserves credit for doing -- is to argue strenuously against the "perfect sound forever" mantra that accompanied the release of digital into the consumer marketplace in the mid-to-late 1980s."

I find it ironic that reviewers such as Pohlmann, Ranada and others of their ilk bought into C.D. as "perfect sound forever", and now apparently agree that SACD sounds superior. Makes me wonder how they define "perfect". I guess the new mantra should be "SACD, better than perfect sound forever." Further ironic that Fremer argued that C.D. did not sound "perfect", and the imperfections that he has been discussing for the past twenty years are now the very same imperfections that Pohlmann, Ranada, et al., claim SACD clean up. Rather the criticize Fremer, how about lobbing some grenades in the general direction of Pohlmann, et al. for failing to hear what Fremer heard. But then the advocates of perfect sound forever do not seem to talk about this matter very much anymore.
