I personally think Mellencamp is a great choice for something like this. He sells a lot of records, and has a history of releasing well-engineered recordings - despite the loudness race etc. In addition, a small but significant portion of his audience (at this stage in his career) might actually be concerned about sound quality.
If Burnett were to have debuted this stuff with an emerging pop or rock artist - no one would have cared. And I think asking people to buy yet another remastering of a classic recording is getting long in the tooth. When artists that other artists respect become early adopters of new technology, such technologies have a better chance of taking hold. I just wish I could play the hi-res version of this recording with my SB3. I really enjoy it, and based on the generally positive reviews its getting I'm apparently not alone. -- esbrewer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ esbrewer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49956 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
