Pkron: On your aside, Telarc is also planning, if they ever get time at the SACD plant, to release some of its early Soundstream recordings, which will be interesting to hear since I'm told the Soundstream was the original DSD machine. As far as the superiority of the old Sony analog tapes, it depends on the recordings; a lot of the old Columbia stuff can sound a little shrill, because that was the way they recorded it.
