I am checking now a "redbook" Mahler CD that I have that should "change your mind", if you have the digital chain to unleash it. OK, it is Mahler 3 by the Westdeutscher Rundfunk Synfoniorhcester, Koln, under Semyon Bychknov. Try this and hear what you think about CD "transients", etc. No, this is not a typical redbook CD. But I have to say, I have other, bigger problems than "transients" with CD. Of course, I have fewer than 100 CDs, I think, but I do plan to get more Bruckner on CD, since this is where one finds the Bruckner programs, apparently, and... it's all about program.

As for SACD, I have already tipped my hand on this; I have not yet heard the good examples, although I try again every time it comes up. I am so confused by SACD that I "planned around it", meaning, I could not play it on my main system now if I wanted to; by careful design I have only straight redbook digital "capabilities", from end to end. Again, my present mental picture of the SACD is the vivid water color that someone pulls fingers through before it dries.

Best regards,
Paul S
