Ultra High Definition 32-Bit Master?

I have heard FIM 32-bit Remasters and own a few. They are excellent...personaly, i focus much less on the technology...and instead try to understand whether the people doing the remastering job are well respected in their field. I always pay attention if I see remastering by Doug Sax, Bob Ludwig, Steve Hoffman, and there are number of others. FIM is also one of them.

I have had excellent sucess with the newer remasters done by Analogue Productions...APO. One man's opinion. Good luck.

Thanks for your opinion Lloydelee. I have enjoyed the APO SACDs I've purchased and have some good sounding XRCDs. I guess I'll give FIM a try.

I bought a sampler SACD distributed by GrooveNote (GRV1013), and the cuts by FIM are outstanding!

Good luck and pls post when you have heard it!

Lloydelee21,

"I always pay attention if I see remastering by Doug Sax, Bob Ludwig, Steve Hoffman, and there are number of others." You are *so* right. I think the remastering of a recording is a far more accurate predictor of whether I'm going to repeatedly enjoy a recording than the resolution numbers have ever been. HDtracks is finally starting to reveal the mastering provenance of select recordings and I wish they'd provide it for everything. For example the latest 192/24 Sterling remasters of the Verve catalog are very, very good.

Buying "by the numbers" is a risky proposition. The audio mags need to develop a more extensive review system of high resolution recordings. Many "hi-res" releases are quite mediocre...not nearly as good as a well-mastered Redbook through a good DAC.
