    Does anyone have any impressions of the 2022 Columbia Legacy hi-res release of Miles Davis' E.S.P, particularly any comparisons to the MFSL SACD or the Japanese SACD from 2000? Any insight greatly appreciated. Happy new year all!

    For Mercury Falling:

    PSM just states "Tracks 1-11 – contains high-resolution digital transfers of material originating from an analogue master source" so they're saying it's a hi-rez transfer of the analog tape. DR #'s they show look good. Anyone get this and have any comment?

    I found the 24/192 Mercury Falling to be a reasonable improvement over my original CD, not a dramatic or spectacular upgrade but a nice, warm analogue type sound. If you like the album then go for it, if it’s not a favourite then I would say the original CD would be good enough…

    Disclaimer: I haven't heard this new download (so I can't speak to any EQ differences) but for those that care, the DR numbers are the exact same as the MFSL SACD that I have for this title.

    This is the LPCM; NOT the MQA. (I really wish MQA would go away; in my experience cd sounds better).

    I just found a cool Cowboy Junkies album, the Sharon Sessions 44/24. I THINK it's only available in Canada. It's an early attempt at the Caution Horses, recorded with the same method as Trinity Sessions (1 Microphone). I prefer CH, but that may be from 30 years of listening. This is worthwhile for fans.

    Sorry, not certain...Haven't purchased yet. Lack the technical knowledge of some here, but, I will do my best to compare when I do and report back. I'd also love to hear comparisons from others who may have already taken the leap.

    Is it the Mark Wilder remix or the original stereo mix?

    Jazz Fans?
    • Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus, Vince Guaraldi, Craft reissue, 24/192 sounds great. Lots of alternate versions following the initial album ordering
    • Louisiana Slim, Leon Spencer, Craft Reissue, 24/192, Early 70's soul jazz which isn't dated. An enjoyable session.
    • Linger Awhile, Samara Joy, Verve, 24/96, Great sounding and the young singer does a very good job singing jazz standards. Not as realistic as the original singers but much better than modern "jazz" songstresses.
    • Breathe, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Blue Note, 24/96, Two songs with Iggy Pop, the rest are live performances that keep you interested. Very good sound with the modern Blue Note sound.
    • Sorcery, Jack DeJohnette, Craft Reissue, 24/192, Long time favorite of mine. I will give it a listen shortly.
    All HDTrack's downloads. I had a bit of trouble downloading using their new software but...

    Ok, I did compare….it was easily,handily, better than the original 96 CD. It was the only one of the three that I thought the 96khz vinyl rip was better. I have nice copies of Nothing and Dream—which I think sound better than the rips….those two sound better still at 192khz. I do not have the actual Mercury Falling on vinyl, but ONLY the rip….I say all that to say I was pretty surprised. That said, unless your current listening version is the 96 press vinyl or an HD rip of it, the 192khz are an improvement.

    Thank you. Rant: If they have to make the cd's DR9 for the testosterone laden teens, can't our audiophile version at least have a lack of compression??????

    Quick note for @CBackley . I finally bought both E.S.P. & Nefertiti in 24/96. Have only had time to listen to E.S.P. very briefly thus far, but, right now, to may ears, and on my equipment, I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed.

    It sounds more like the MFSL version than it does the Japanese SME SACD, in that the instruments have a more natural timbre than the SME, but, much like the MFSL, it sounds like there's a bit of a blanket over the whole thing. The SME had a bit of an artificial tone to all of the instruments, imo, but, the one thing it had going for it was a spaciousness and high-end that I feel is sorely lacking in both the MFSL & the new 2022 re-master.

    As usual, I look to those more knowledgable than I to provide insight. I'll report back after I hear Nefertiti. If that one sounds like the MFSL, it could be OK, since, to my recollection, E.S.P. is the only one of the Second Great Quintet's albums which I would say MFSL "screwed up." YMMV

    I've found MFSL on SACD to have a "house sound" which they seem more concerned about than presenting the music accurately. The old MFSL didn't do this, but they also didn't do SACD afaik.

    Interesting moo. I can't truthfully say that I've heard enough of their SACDs to make a definitive assessment, but, I would agree that this was not the case during my younger years with the original MFSL.

    Listening to Pinocchio on Neferetiti right now, and, to tell you the truth, it sounds exactly like the MFSL SACD on my Focal Stellia headphones. If there's a substantial difference, I can't hear it.
