Re: "most SACD titles are poorly recorded" ? Hardly

I look at the tape made at the original session / recording as the master tape. Regardless of format, you are using that, whether it be digital whatever, 2 track at 30 ips... Provided the CD transfer wasn't from a second or third gen master that leaves us with the the mastering to the format as well as the format itself as possible points of altered sound, not the recording itself. So my point is that if they both use the same master tape, the master in and of itself is a moot point since they would both be using the same source, good or bad. A bad recording will not be improved by higher bit rates. Case in point "Jazz at Massey Hall." It sounds crappy on whatever medium you play it on: CD, SACD, LP... The performance however, Salt Peanuts.
