There's been a lot of discussion over at SA-CD Net about SHM-CD's and whether the "clearer plastic" technology they use generates any actual improvement in sound quality. Many people simply don't believe that would be possible. Metallica's new album - Death Magnetic - is going to be released in Japan in SHM-CD format.
I'm not very knowledgeable about this area - does anyone here know more or have opinions about SHM-CD? Edit: I've read that mastering engineer Ted Jansen is going to working on this album - whether as mastering and recording engineer, I don't know.

I'm going to buy one of these, draw a green ring on the edge, freeze it with liquid nitrogen, and run it through my demagnetizer.
I'll have better bits than anyone. My ones will be more singular, my zeros will be truly nothing. I will be the digital king. What do you think ... too much? |
