Being someone who is intimately involved with the mastering of Jazz at Sony, I would like to say a few things.First, I do not believe Jeremy123 is a Sony employee, nor does he have any firsthand knowledge of the mastering of the Sony Jazz catalog. If he is, I am calling him out. My extension is x4257, call, I'd love to talk.
Second, our general rule for mastering Redbook or SACD is to use the best available source, period. Myself, with producers and other engineers, work long and hard not to screw this stuff up, because we know you are out there listening.
The tapes are in excellent shape, kept in climate controlled vaults. Tape condition is very rarely an issue.
Since my first SACD project in 1999, the Meitner converters have proven themselves time and time again. Currently, they are on Version 5 with small improvements each time. They are so good that, on occasion, I use them for Redbook issues of frontline CD's.
I could not let comments like the ones posted by jeremy123 slip by. This will be my only post. I only registered to reply to what was forwarded to me.
