There are a few songs on here which I've always thought; I should almost melt, but it's just not quite there.
In this release, the sound is so lovely and warm yet clear that finally it's - there.
I just melt into the chair when I listen to 'Woman' for example.
Heck. I've melted on the first bar ... more |

Masterpiece.
Dynamic range - by the bucket load
Sound stage - Hypnotic
Transients - thought my speakers might pop
Subtle detail - hairs on the back of the neck
Analogue - I would have believed it wasn't digitised
Compression - absolutely not
What an absolutely fantastic job they've ... more |

Totally agree with fredblue
What an absolute load of rubbish this release is. |

I was pleasantly surprised when I first played this.
It's all there. It's really clear. It's really in your face.
So initially quite impressive.
After a while (few tracks) it starts to get very fatiguing.
The loudness just keeps going. It really is relentless.
If somebody was using a drill and you ... more |

While it does have a warm sound ....
... I was underwhelmed
The reproduction is probably near perfect, but I personally find there isn't much going on.
It just doesn't exite me.
Probably it's just me, but there it is.
I am looking forward to the SHM-SACDs Universal Japan releases;
Mind Games and ... more |

| Hi Marpow,
Is there any chance you could review 'Rush: Moving Pictures'.
You posted a 'will review when it arrives' but not a review ... yet.
There are 2 reviews only and they are at opposite ends. One hates, one loves.
Thanks. ... more |

| The Azur 752BD user manual talks about Dynamic Range Control:
There are 3 settings on, off, auto:
"Auto – Play at the dynamic range specified by the disc. This option
applies to Blu-ray Discs only. For other disc types no dynamic range
compression is applied."
I didn't know a blu-ray could specify a dynamic range !

| I should correct myself. The Dynamic range control is not ON by default, it's 'auto'.
from user manual:
"Auto – Play at the dynamic range specified by the disc. This option
applies to Blu-ray Discs only. For other disc types no dynamic range
compression is applied."
... so I guess for SACDs etc it will be OFF - just as I like it. ... more |
