30 Years of Perfect Sound?

The only part of the article that I really take exception with is that on SACD.

From the moment that I auditioned the product upon its initial release in 1999, I have always found it to sound extremely good and much, much closer to live music than CD (which to my ears sounds noticeably flatter and less realtistic, with less tonal saturation and authenticity than SACD).

SACDs can (often) fool me into thinking that I am hearing live musicians. CDs have never done that for me.

I don't hear any problem with SACD's high frequency noise shaping (probably because I am not a bat and cannot hear ultrasonic, greater than 20-kHz frequenicies).

He can throw all the numbers and "logic" at me that he wants, but it doesn't
explain why my shoulders hunch and my brow furrows when digitally sourced
music is playing, and I relax and have a positive emotional response to analog.
24-bit adds nothing? Then why does 24/96 sound like a breath of fresh air after
listening to some 16/44.1 demos? And I'm talking about John Atkinson
personally demo-ing his recordings from his laptop, and the same thing from
Peter McGrath's laptop for demo-ing Wilson Sashas and Maxxes?

About KR.

Dunno anything else about him. He has a nice website though! And nice photography.

Nice looking kids too!

And nice teeth.

Markh,

Now I am curious, why the interest in this particular article?

Thanks.
