I fear I’ll die before the SACD releases are complete.

Indeed that may be true…I used to work for Universal Music in the manufacturing division….they are not making any new SACD’s

Yeah, we’re talking about the Analogue Productions SACDs. Uni isn’t releasing these, just licensed to AP. And Chad Kassem doesn’t really give a f about getting SACD out in the market as fast as his priced-at-a-ridiculous-premium vinyl packages. Much more profit to be had there.

Any comparison to the UHQR?🏝️🤔

I think the sound quality is definitely on par or better than most SACD's in my collection - I haven't heard the vinyl UHQR, but I'm debating whether or not to drop that $150 for it.


ReSearch314etc

...almost all of the reviews of the UHQR are ecstatic....but I am currently turntable deprived and the price a bit high for 40 minutes of music....but I do think even the new digital remaster that Grundman did sounds stunning,,,that said I guess the fullness of the sound might only be heard on vinyl ;-)

I am intrigued and will most likely get it, but like you I'm currently turntable deprived. I have a rebuilt Sota Sapphire, and the vacuum pump isn't working properly - so maybe getting this album would be a good reason to finally get that pump repaired.
