New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Re: agreed, but....

No, I don't actually. Newly recorded material can better show what DVD-Audio and SA-CD are capable of.

Recordings made 45-50 years ago have master tapes that have lost high frequency information, have older tape formulations with higher noise floors (you just live with it) etc etc etc.

Compare that with the material coming from AIX or Telarc or DMP (top notch recordings, content is another issue).

I do agree with you about contemporary artists - far too few give a damn about recording quality. Those that do give us some great material. If you like his material, check out the Mark Knopfler discs "Sailing to Philadelphia" and "Shangri-La" (CD + DVD-A on WB or import the SA-CD) or Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms". These haven't been destroyed by an overactive compressor/limiter in the circuit so they have life and actual dynamic range.
