"People assured me that the US-market Kind of Blue SACD-only release sounded better than the Asian hybrid. I have carefully compared both, using the Meitner DSD separates. I can't hear a difference. JA and I have both heard the KOB master tapes, and he is coming here next week and I will see if he can hear any difference, I doubt he will."John, the 65 K question is whether or not you were able to do a direct side by side of the KOB master tape and the SACD in the same system? If so, do tell.
The Japanese import of Funny Valentine, although very expensive, is worth the ride. George Coleman, was, as Miles had said, on fire. No quote marks. Miles' description is much more colorful, and dare I say descriptive. Coleman's playing on Stella by Starlight is the thing.
