| You'll enjoy it when the SACD arrives. Another outstanding Surround Sound SACD recording by David Elias and Gus Skinas at the Super Audio Center. | |

| See the story: http://highfidelityreview.com/news/news.asp?newsnumber=19330999 I preordered mine directly from him and should be receiving it any day (possibly today). I will post my impressions later after I have listened to it - but if it compares at all to "The Window", then I am sure it will be excellent. Btw, Stephen, when will you have | |

| You're so right! Wonderful SACD. Very nice recording without any overdubs, straight to DSD! As pure as can be. I heard there's coming another David Elias SACD! | |

|
| Another SACD title and artist who I feel deserves more recognition is David Elias with "The Window". This is one the few pop/folk albums on SACD that is not only 100% DSD but also independently produced and marketed. Taken together with the fact that this is truly a great album, among my top 10 non-classical albums, I feel this artist should | |

| I just got word from David Elias of "The Window" (http://sa-cd.net/showtitle/1336) that he will be shortly releasing a new album: "We have recorded another set of songs on DSD and are in the final stages of getting them ready for another hybrid mch SACD printing. Hope to have that go to press sometime soon." Though the title is still a work in | |

| Hi Steve, Thank you for this informative explanation. It does seem true that printing Hybrid SACDs is a much more difficult enterprise for an independent musician. However, some musicians such as David Elias have successfully released independent SACD albums, so it seems that it is not an insurmountable goal. Well, it did seem this would be a | |

| I can definitely recommend the Outlaw 950 preamp (latest B-stock model) hooked up to their 5-channel 755 amp using the "Direct Bypass". A very very nice combination I've been listening to for just a couple of months at this point. No complaints and no regrets...I was looking for a good 5-way SACD amplification that didn't break my negative budget | |

| Dan - I read your comments and certainly agree. That is the beauty of the hybrid SACD. You can buy one today for your old cheap CD player and hear high quality on the redbook layer -- when your CD player wears out and you buy a new SACD or Universal player, that same disc suddenly sounds even better for no charge! I can't think of any previous | |

|
| I have to agree with you. I think Let It Bleed is an excellent disc to use when anyone wants to compare a redbook CD with its remastered SACD counterpart. Two different worlds! Best Regards, David Elias | |

| Dan - I totally agree! DSD recording combined with SBM downsampling to create an SACD hybrid is a magic combination that will present an amazing result on any CD player, SACD or otherwise. Regards - David Elias | |

| This is very interesting reading! I have to defy-or-comply with the genre problem all the time. Originally it was stylistic issues about what kind of music I play (pick one: folk, pop, rock, jazz -- ugh). I started using the reference of "Independent Acoustic" as the best descriptive genre I could come up with. I still use this term. But when I | |

| I like the idea of creating a catch-all label of Independent. I agree that David Elias and Suitcase Pimps are good candidates for this. (I struggled with "labeling" these for my personal collection.) On the other hand, ZoomTone fits in with my concept of a label, albeit an independent one. My first inclination would be to keep this separate. But | |

| I've been thinking of filing "indies" together under either a new "Independent" genre or a generic label of "Indepedent" (or both). Candidates for this are David Elias, Suitcase Pimps, the three ZoomTone titles and the latest one from Ruf Records: http://www.sacdinfo.com/showtitle.php?title=1586 plus any others anyone suggests. Whadya think? | |

| Azure, I couldn't agree with you more. I think the SBM-Direct performs something of a miracle on DSD recordings or masters destined to be hybrids playing on conventional CD systems. We used this process on my SACD project "The Window" which was recorded to DSD on a Sonoma. The resulting redbook layer was the product of a SBM-direct transformation | |

| I bought the DAV-C770 last year shortly after it came out. There were a few reasons for the purchase. Overall it was the easiest and cheapest way to be able for me to playback surround sound (multichannel) SACDs at home. Shortly after that, I bought a Sony SCD-C775 SACD player at a ridiculously low price for the discontinued model. This is hooked | |

| I guess this can seem a little strange, I mean you don't see that kind of thing happening with a major artist on a mega label. But things are different for the indie crowd. I reviewed David Elias' -The Window- about a week ago. I write for epinions.com, and I've been writing mostly music reviews for the past three years there. I currently have | |

| I guess I should reply here even though I'm not interested in stirring things up. I had submitted my SACD to MuzikReviewz.com without ever having heard of them before. I have been sending my new disc out to various magazines and online places for review. Mary Rudy received it and loved it. She wrote her review without knowing anything about me | |

| I understand your concern, but not to worry. There is a shortage of good SACD's out there, not the classic stuff, there is plenty of that (Dark side of the moon comes to mind). But new music is hard to find especially rock. I'm a fan of the "little guy" and discovering David Elias and Suitcase Pimps was a good find for me. I don't think a review of | |

| I am concerned about the validity of recent reviews of selections available on the cdbaby.com website. What does everyone else think? On 3 Oct, David Elias - The Window was reviewed by muzikwebgal. Her profile includes a link to "a music promotion website" run by her. This is fair enough--at least we know where she is coming from--although by my | |

| I'm David Elias - My SACD "The Window" was reviewed last week online at http://www.muzikreviewz.com/DavidElias_cdrev.html - The Sony SACD Project team told me that I've released the first independent (unsigned) multichannel hybrid SACD. There's also another SACD online at CDBaby by Marthas Trouble. There are a number of people who wrote comments | |

| I found two SACD's on CDbaby.com one from David Elias and the other from a group called the Suitcase Pimps. Has anybody heard either of these discs? Jeff Coffin from the Flecktones is on the Suitcase Pimps disc. Seems like it might be pretty cool. Has anybody heard it? | |
