SACD's to avoid due to poor remastering.

The worst sounding of the 120 or so SACDs I own is by far Roger Waters- In The Flesh. Too bad because the performance is very good and I love Roger but what a horrible recording/remastering.

The same problem with BluRay videos. Way to many are just the same resolution as the DVD. just as:.. when DVD came out, some of the movies were in the same resolution as the laserdic, even worse, a very few were just copies of VHS on DVD.
Then you get "Blade Runner, where they did the transfer from film to a 4x density? something like 2800x8000 and lower the pixle rate with an outstanding algorythym. So Blade Runner is the true standard of what can be done in Blue Ray.
Some companies just take everyone for suckers, "hey it's on BluRay, Or "hey its on SACD, so it must me better". Too bad these companies can't be sued for deceitful practices.
They worry so much about possible copyright infringment, and then turn around and screw thier artists, and the public, who think they are buying a high quality product, and are getting crap.

That's good news, I wasn't wanting to replace my entire DVD collection or 16/44 CD's.

Finally! A thread worth responding to. Send me back to 1970 right NOW. It's about the money, it's ALWAYS about the money! My suggestion is don't buy any of it and you won't be disappointed.

I have noticed that on Diana Krall's "The look of Love" the bass is mixed much lower on the stereo SACD layer than on the CD layer. Not sure if it is worth avoiding it as a result but I thought it was curious.
