In Reply to: I'd rather them leave these recordings where they belong: history. posted by sser2 on December 8, 2006 at 17:41:30:
Thee recordings represented the state of the art 50 or so years ago, and deserve to be presented and preserved at their best. Also the artistry is undeniable, and should be available for future generations to study. All recordings must be presented at their best to the widest ausience possible to reinforce their emotional end educational contributions to our common culture. OK soapbox vacated.

Why old RCAs are singled out for preservation of our common culture and everything else pretty much neglected? Where are SACD reissues of great audiophile quality records from Everest, Vox, Vanguard, European labels? Reiner, Heifetz, and Rubinstein are just a microscopic fraction of our common musical heritage.
Where are SACD reissues of great audiophile quality records from Everest, Vox, Vanguard, European labels?As far as Everest is concerned, there were some titles released on SACD a couple of years ago, and now there are some more titles currently being released as Classic Records HDAD’s (DVD-Audio, 2-channel 24/192, and 3-channel 24/96, packaged with a separate RBCD). Unfortunately, many of these HDAD's exhibit fleeting instances of pitch instability, perhaps evidence of deterioration in the 35mm magnetic film masters. There's already been discussion about a couple of these releases on the DVD Audiobahn, and I’ll try to post an update there soon.
and I don't think it's about "preservation". The RCA Living Stereo series is a cash cow.
