High quality DAC's will always sound better than the run of the mill DAC's in standard CD or DVD players and in some low end receivers. To get the highest quality audio playback you want the best DAC, the best preamp and power amp. However the number one determiner of audio playback quality is your speakers. Instead of investing all the money on Blu Spec CD's you're better off investing in better speakers! Remember everyone tastes differ. Besides Blu Spec CD's may just become collector's items.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752729045376089739.post-52864342505857783552009-02-28T19:28:00.000-05:002009-02-28T19:28:00.000-05:00Agreed and I'm all for believing that it's probabl...Agreed and I'm all for believing that it's probable that record companies are trying to get more money out of people, but on a BluRay player, there is a slight improvement. Probably not enough for most people to drop everything they have. It's the exact same master, I know. But I do think it's possible that a better or new format can offer cleaner results.<BR/><BR/>I'm not ruling out that I'm easily suckered either. ;-)Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06237664318377684667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752729045376089739.post-89470148247270721862009-02-26T22:09:00.000-05:002009-02-26T22:09:00.000-05:00I'm an electronic technician who serviced many SON...I'm an electronic technician who serviced many SONY CD and DVD players and I can say without a doubt that Blu Spec CD is nothing more than marketing gimmick to squeeze more money out of fans. For a Blu Spec CD to play on a standard CD player it must adhere to SONY/Philips RED Book standard. There can be no audible difference. Any difference perceived has to come from remastering of the original recording and not the playback of a better manufactured CD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752729045376089739.post-53468512485342579062009-01-19T19:42:00.000-05:002009-01-19T19:42:00.000-05:00Thanks Rich...

But nothing beats the Blu-Spec. Absolutely nothing. If you think it does not, you don't hear all of the sound of the cd. The Problem is, you must have a very good drive for listening cd's. Buy the Blu-spec's and wait till you can get a better player with a better drive like the<BR/>Philips CD2-Pro. Then you can hear cd's how they realy are. Look at musical fidelity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752729045376089739.post-20714209365593294662009-01-15T09:17:00.000-05:002009-01-15T09:17:00.000-05:00I just wish we could get a separate release of all...I just wish we could get a separate release of all the unreleased material, instead of nickel-and-diming us on endless future releases with 1 or 2 new songs.<BR/><BR/>I see that may be in the works for the future, and I'd be happy to purchase it!Greg Saparahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170653448749957195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752729045376089739.post-63707393860052095282009-01-15T03:16:00.000-05:002009-01-15T03:16:00.000-05:00I'm waiting for FTM to find the next set of improv...I'm waiting for FTM to find the next set of improved master tapes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752729045376089739.post-1720200940437404702009-01-14T17:10:00.000-05:002009-01-14T17:10:00.000-05:00The sound quality on the Mini-LP box sets are exac...The sound quality on the Mini-LP box sets are exactly those of their most recent remasters: very good!
