New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

"Do all these different formats really sound significantly different or are they small?"

They're very small - as I always say, it's like arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. (FLAC files are losslessly compressed, whereas AIFF and WAV are usually uncompressed.) And you're right that it is still the original recording quality which matters most, regardless of the particular incarnation.

Yeah, I like the old Decca, RCA and Mercury (and EMI!) recordings too. But OTOH, I believe that great recordings can be made with different microphoning philosophies, and, certainly (or at least IMHO), Channel Classics invariably gives us outstanding examples of their recording philosophy with each new release - really state of the art for their particular approach.
