Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit

You may think that misery loves company, but I hope by now you realize that I make for lousy company! I am not exactly a follower, if you know what I mean!

Update: Managed to get on E-mail list for Capital Studios via their Website. Left an E-mail for Paula Salvatore, contact at Capitol Studios and Mastering. She appears to work in the Recording Department. Recieved a response, that a formal E-mail is forthcoming from her.
Sent an E-mail to Stewart Whitmore, recording engineer at Marcussen Mastering Studios. This is the Studio that Dave Collins did the Surround Sound Mastering for DIANNA KRALL: THE LOOK OF LOVE DVD-Audio Disk.
Both E-mails inquired about the Mastering processed used, expressed an interest in more releases utilizing this Format, inquired about any plans for doing so.
These people are probably having a heart attack, no-one from the Public has ever contacted them, inquiring about the Sound Quality of a particular Format. Shame on you! No wonder they think no-one cares! Probably the first time that anyone has even complemented them! I don't give very many complements, only when there is an extra-ordinary effort to produce Sound Quality that is Generations ahead of any 2-Channel Digital Recording, no matter what the Sampling Rate, and I didn't even have to use extra Amplifiers or Speakers!
I will keep you posted!

Update: Time for the Pettyofficer to eat some Crow. Sent three E-mails to Capitol Mastering Studios, and one E-mail to Marcussen Mastering Studios. Both Studios are listed on the back of the DIANNA KRALL: THE LOOK OF LOVE DVD-Audio Disk. Recieved two responses from Capitol Mastering, both claiming that Formal E-mail Responses were forthcomming. It is apparent that this is simply an automated System sending out an automated response, might as well be E-mailing a Robot. It is apparent that no E-mail Responses from a real Human Being are forthcomming. Gave it my best shot, waited long enough.
I take full responsibity for all insults and hurt feelings that I may have caused other Audiogon Members, and I Apologize. I was trying to get everyone to think outside the box, thought shock treatment might wake everyone up. It is my fault that I missunderstood the audience that I was addressing. How do you try to get a Masochist to act in his own best interest, you can't, it is simply square peg-round hole logic. I deserve all of the fault for even trying, I am smart enough to know better.
My Plan was simple, rile up enough Audiogon members to flood the Recording Manufacturers with demand for Multi-Channel High Resolution Digital Recordings. I thought that E-mails would be the best tool. Again, it was square peg-round hole logic, and no amount of insult will make that square peg fit. I should have known better. I know better now.
There might be a chance, if enough Members send E-mails to these Manufacturers, but from my experience I seriously doubt it. I never expected deadpan silence from paying someone a compliment, but that is all I can offer you if you want to E-mail these Recording Studios. I will include the E-mail addresses, use them-don't use them, do with as you will. I think that I am pretty much done with the whole mess. Once again, my Apologies to Anyones feelings that might have been hurt during this Thread. I really think that you are all really smart and intelligent people with an enthusiastic interest in Sound Reproduction. I really wish you the best.
