Re: My first SACD in over a year: the Channel Fischer Mahler 2nd.

"It exists since 1999, its name is SACD."

In response to the above two posts: Yes, it existed from 1955 to about 1960. It was called two-track tape. The format was superceded by stereo LPs and 4-track tape. To hear these 50-year-old tapes is to marvel at the quality of sound The analog sound has an ineffable quality not yet equaled on digital. The Fischer Mahler 2nd SACD is a very fine sounding recording with string sound as good as it gets with digital. But analog string sound is better. You never find anyone singing the praises of a digital recording of a string quartet or solo guitar. The instruments are too exposed, and there is no grand climax with full orchestra, chorus, and organ to cover this up and impress.
