Stravinsky: Firebird, Le Chant du Rossignol - Levi        (1 of 3 found this review helpful)
  June 14, 2007

Hi, they have issued an SACD that is not OK. All layers seem to have a 100Hz low pass filter applied!!! I'm expecting to get a new version of this SACD but take care not to buy these records before they have been replaced with fully functional ones w/o the filter.

Warren Bernhardt: So Real        
  October 14, 2006

Ok, I understand many people don't consider this kind of easy listening jazz worth listening ... and I think I had the same predudice when listening to this record for the first time.

September 8, 2010
Hi, this is an interesting paper but the authors need to carry our further research before the results can be accepted as a scientific fact. There are some interesting results in the paper: Using orchestral music material, 13 participants out of 16 were statistically able to detect + native 88.4kHz and native 44.1kHz from each other However, ... more
