Kind of Blue SACD on a whim.
I've been listening to jazz for only about a year. I can't say that I'm a jazz fan yet but I am growing more and more fond of Kind of Blue. Last night I was looking around on eBay and saw a Kind of Blue MoFi hybrid SACD. It was $30, new, and on an impulse I bought it.
I have never bought and do not own any SACDs. (I have an Oppo player). I also know nothing about MoFi other than an association with high production quality.
Anyway, I am interested in anyone's thoughts on this SACD from a quality standpoint. According to the dynamic range database virtually all releases of Kind of Blue are superb from a DR standpoint so that should not be an issue. I did read that on some CD releases prior to 1992 the timing was off which cause slight pitch issues. I am assuming this SACD would not suffer from that issue but have no way of knowing but probably don't have the ears or familiarity with the album to know.

I own the recent MOFI 45rpm KOB release. Love it. Sounds like you are interested in venturing further into the era of classic jazz. Might I suggest Cannonball Adderley's "Something Else" as your next purchase. Miles appears on trumpet and Cannonball is from the KOB gig. Wonderful rendition of "Autumn Leaves". Fantastic next pick that will pull you into the late 50's jazz scene. |
@tablejockey Yep. I just haven't been able to pull the trigger on a couple bottles of this stuff: https://www.highfidelitycables.com/Nanoparticle/NPS1260.php?utm_source=audiogon&utm_medium=banne... |
